Garbage characters for \d table?

Bug summary: PSQL's \d table displaying garbage characters for one table.
Severity: Annoyance
Reproducability: Poor
Version: 7.4.3 on the client, 7.4.1 on the server. Both compiled from
source.
Platform: SuSE Linux 9.1, Linux Kernel 2.6.7 (client), RH Linux 8.0 on server.
Connection btw. client <--> server is over SSH tunnel.

When I do a \d on one table in PSQL, I get the following:

Table "public.elbs_timekeep"
Column | Type | Modifiers

240240240240240240240240tkinit | character varying(8) |

240240240240240240240240tkceflag | character varying(1) |

This does NOT happen:
1) on other tables;
2) when I use PSQL on the server.

Frankly, the circumstances are peculiar enough that I don't expect you to do
anything about this bug report; instead I'm filing it in case any related
problems crop up with 7.4's PSQL.

And, yes, I tried re-connecting in case this was somehow line noise.
