Hmm, that's very strange.  I wonder which columns it think didn't exist.
It shouldn't be checking the pktable in that case, which would imply
it doesn't believe the existance of ftest1,ftest2,ftest3.  Probably
a stupid mistake on my part.  As soon as I clear off space to compile
current, I'll look.
