What is your version of DBIx-SearchBuilder? In particular, the
DISTINCT definition was changed from:

$$statementref = "SELECT DISTINCT main.* FROM $$statementref";

to:

$$statementref = "SELECT main.* FROM ( SELECT DISTINCT main.id FROM $$statementref ) distinctquery, $table main WHERE (main.id = distinctquery.id) ";

You can change the line in your version of SearchBuilder and restart
RT with a cache flush to get approximately the same benefit.
