Well I solved the problem. It turns out that I had a programmer (me)
malfunction. My 22+ million record data had every other record
containing only a single character, a newline. My only excuse is
that some of the shorter tables I made using the data worked. Of course
the psql copy command rightly assumed the data was clean.
It is with a sheepish grin that I quote a time honored maxim:
When all else fails check the obvious.
