It is zero for the inserted row. Other rows often have a value of 11. The
complete FK and TRIGGER list is shown here:

Foreign-key constraints:
     "audit_logs_audit_format_id_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (audit_format_id) REFERENCES audit_formats(id) ON DELETE RESTRICT
     "audit_logs_audit_log_type_id_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (audit_log_type_id) REFERENCES audit_log_types(id) ON DELETE
RESTRICT
     "audit_logs_audit_log_type_id_fkey1" FOREIGN KEY (audit_log_type_id) REFERENCES audit_log_types(id) ON DELETE
RESTRICT
     "audit_logs_customer_id_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (customer_id) REFERENCES customers(id) ON DELETE RESTRICT
     "audit_logs_customer_region_id_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (customer_region_id) REFERENCES customer_regions(id) ON DELETE
RESTRICT
     "audit_logs_sdp_id_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (sdp_id) REFERENCES sdps(id) ON DELETE RESTRICT
Triggers:
     audit_log_delete_trigger BEFORE DELETE ON audit_logs FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE audit_log_delete_restrict()

Any suggested tricks for seeing additional debug information or even
roaming through gdb, to try to figure this out?

Thanks again - Marc
