The plan is the internal plan generated by the parser/optimizer.  A very
short sql statement could generate a very big plan.  No real easy way to
tell without actually running it.

This I don't know.  Any little change to the nodes or the parser/optimizer
could have bumped you over the limit.

Could add some debugging statements in the rewrite code to show it.  Snoop
around the src/backend/rewrite directory a little.
