We've done a bit more digging, and think we understand the problem. Looks like 7.3.1 is just now taking advantage of a
performanceflag that has been ignored up to now. The error message is a bit unclear.
When we close this out internally, we'll document our findings to the list. So, in short, "never mind."
Thanks,
NL

Has anyone seen this behavior? It's corrupted a production database.
