Tom, you're a genius. There was some strangeness with the search path for
the user I was connected as. The displayed search path was
"bar,beam,truss"
but the search path should really have been
bar, beam, truss
Once I changed that and reconnected to the database, everything went back to
what I expected. I couldn't have sorted it all out without the logging,
which I have since turned off.
