Bug reference:      18429
Logged by:          Benoît Ryder
Email address:      b.ryder@ateme.com
PostgreSQL version: 15.6
Operating system:   Debian
Description:       

-- `where` clause should return false: (14 - 6) / 4 = (12 - 6) / 4 → false
select 1 from c2 where (14 - c2.t) / c2.d = (12 - c2.t) / c2.

You are doing integer division here and the right hand side equals, 1.5; I suppose something may have used to round that up to the integer 2 which would make both sides equals but now (v16) rounds it down (or more accurately truncates it) to 1.
