Tom... this is getting even more weird:

logs=> select distinct confid from timelog199911;
pqReadData() -- backend closed the channel unexpectedly.
[...]

Now this:
logs=> \copy timelog199911 to timelog199911
Successfully copied.
logs=> drop table timelog199911;
DROP
logs=> CREATE TABLE "timelog199911" (       "loginname" text,       "site" character varying(16),       "start_time"
datetime,      "elapsed" timespan,       "port" text,       "valid" bool,       "ipaddress" inet,       "confid" int4,
    "session_id" text);
 
[...]
CREATE
logs=> CREATE  INDEX "timelog199911_loginname_idx" on "timelog199911" using 
btree ( "loginname" "text_ops" );
CREATE
logs=> \copy timelog199911 from timelog199911
(ok, I know it's smarted to build the index after copying in the data)
Successfully copied.

logs=> select distinct confid from timelog199911;
sbrk: grow failed, return = 12
sbrk: grow failed, return = 12
pqReadData() -- backend closed the channel unexpectedly.
[...]

logs=> select confid from timelog199911;
[...]
(208749 rows)

Weird!
