Hi folks,

I've got a glossary table that I'm trying to render to HTML.  However, I've 
got a problem when using order by and limit.  Below is an example of  a psql 
session showing my problem. Anyone got any reasons why the last select misses  
'Driver'?

nymr=# select glterm from glossary where glterm like 'D%' order by glterm;
     glterm
----------------
 Dampers
 Dart
 Detonators
 Disposal
 Dome
 Draw Bar
 Driver
 Driving Wheels
 Duty Fitter
(9 rows)

nymr=# select glterm from glossary where glterm > 'Driving Wheels' limit 1;
   glterm
-------------
 Duty Fitter
(1 row)

nymr=# select glterm from glossary where glterm > 'Draw Bar' limit 1;
     glterm
----------------
 Driving Wheels
(1 row)

nymr=# \d glossary
                                    Table "glossary"
 Attribute |         Type          |                      Modifier
-----------+-----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
 glid      | integer               | not null default 
nextval('glossary_glid_seq'::text)
 glterm    | character varying(30) | not null
 gldesc    | text                  |
Indices: glossary_pkey,
         glossary_term_index

nymr=#
