Does it matter? I suppose it was my programming error that somehow I got
duplicate primary keys in a table in the database where that should be
totally impossible under any circumstance? Another stupid

At any rate, it appears that the main problem I had with postgres (the
8K tuple limit) is being fixed and I will mention that in my writeup.
