I'm not going to generate a conversion error because the
conversion program does not get those rows as data. :-P

The FPSAMPS row I don't see because it's deleted. The FPNEIGHBORS row
is a mystery. The only thing I can think of is that the
fpneighbors.dbf on papio is different from what you've got.
Could that be? I suppose there could always be a problem
related to indexes, somehow. I don't really believe it but
there's some foxpro command or another (REINDEX maybe) that
rebuilds the indexes.

Maybe the problem is in the dump. Did the dump come from you/Leah
or from Tabby? Could be there's just fpneighbors that's out of sync.
