Right. The 12 interpolated ones are post-babase.
These 12 _could_ be an error in the interpolation program, as
the "old" rows are not supposed to interpolate. Let's wait
and see what a comparison of the foxpro and pg members tables
show. (Though you could probably just look now at the
foxpro data and tell what's up.)
