Responding to myself...

I just noticed something else.  I realized that "attribute 19" means the
19th field defined for the fraction table, so it might be interesting to
see the dable definitions.  There should be 19 attributes, this is the
SQL used to create the table:

CREATE TABLE fraction (
sampleid         INT4 NOT NULL UNIQUE
             REFERENCES sample (sampleid),
date             DATE,
opeid            INT4 REFERENCES people(peopleid),
frac_method      INT2,
frac_protocol    INT2,
methoddesc       TEXT,
pfssampleid      INT4 REFERENCES sample (sampleid),
pfsdesc          TEXT,
rt1              FLOAT4,
rt2              FLOAT4,
frac_number      INT2,
notes            TEXT,
active           BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT 't',
status           INT2 NOT NULL,
remove           BOOLEAN DEFAULT 'f',
init             VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
initdate         DATE NOT NULL,
edit             VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
editdate         DATE NOT NULL

);

But, this is the result of a \d on fraction, sure enough, attribute 19
(editdate) is missing!

main_v0_8=# select * from fraction ;
ERROR:  cannot find attribute 19 of relation fraction
main_v0_8=# \d fraction
