    Description

      The following query, which fails with a syntax error in 10.1.3 (because functions are not allowed in a GROUP BY expression for 10.1) fails with a NullPointerException in 10.2 and in the codeline (10.3):

      create table dt (vc varchar(30));
      insert into dt values ('1928-09-21'), ('1903-12-08');
      select substr(vc, 3) from dt group by substr(vc, 3);

      Result (on trunk) is:
