That's what I thought at first, except that I had just created
the db structure with a script. Just in case I checked with
a select from psql. I even looked at the dump (as text) output to
check that it wasn't doing something wierd like loading things
twice. Turns out this table is the first to have data loaded into
it.
I'm not clear on where to start with this.
