Yes, isn't that interesting?  It's always in a group of 25 rows.  This is
always random.  Say 800,000 to 800,025 out of 12 million represents one
random group of 25 rows.

>What's the (24+1) supposed to convey?
One time we thought we counted 24 rows. (in a row - yes adjacent)

>groups aligned on 25-row boundaries in the whole output (ie, are there

Yes

>How are you doing the copies, exactly?  SQL COPY command, psql \copy,

We've tried SQL COY and psql \copy and always get random results - 0,1, or 2
blocks of 25 rows missing.



Is there a pre-compiled version of postgres we can try ?  Where could I
download that?  We built postgres with GNU make 3.80, the documentation says
3.76 and higher is ok.
