FWIW,
I have experienced some oddities in performing SELECT statements after
restarting on an 8.2 system, whereby I occasionally would get a ton of
duplicate records when I would do a select statement (my assumption is that
they are deleted tuples being returned). If I executed the same select
statement again, I would get the correct number of records.
Thanks for exploring this issue ladies and gents.

Finding the occasional straw of truth awash in a great ocean of confusion and
bamboozle requires intelligence, vigilance, dedication and courage. But if we
don't practice these tough habits of thought, we cannot hope to solve the truly
serious problems that face us -- and we risk becoming a nation of suckers, up
for grabs by the next charlatan who comes along.
