Selection set problem using -rx

Responding to my own question, I've figured out that reversing the order of
the individual field comparisons in the selection set yields the expected
result whether or not index scan is turned on, apparently since the fields
that would triggering an index scan were pulled off to the comparison side.

The following works as I intended:

::::::::::::::
att_cla/sel.yr_to_month
::::::::::::::
:@px:eqf:4
:@py:eqf:3
