The problem was that when there was no MIN or MAX function, after finding the
group prefix based on the DISTINCT or GROUP BY attributes we did not search further
for a key in the group that satisfies the equi-join conditions on attributes that
follow the group attributes. Thus we ended up with the wrong rows, and subsequent
calls to select_cond->val_int() in evaluate_join_record() were filtering those
rows. Hence - the query result set was empty.

The problem occured both for GROUP BY queries without MIN/MAX and for queries
with DISTINCT (which were internally executed as GROUP BY queries).
