I'm not sure. As far as I can tell nothing has happened to the
pl02_status_table, nor should anything have happened to it recently.
Its just a lookup table relating status ID's to descriptive names, and
it only has about 8 records in it, and the last change was several
months ago.  I've attached the \d output of both tables, and everything
appears kosher to me.  Is there something in particular I should look
for?
