Arrg! Looks like the first load was corrupted as you suspected.. When I
tried it a second time, it seems to have worked just fine.

Well, at least I learned how to use GDB, so the time spent wasn't a total
waste. I noticed searching through Google for postgres error messages like
the one I had that one of the main things you have to teach people is how
to use GDB. ;-)

Thanks, Tom! I really appreciate your help.
