IB4, IRIX

I created an external table and all was fine, then I did a backup &
restore and the column alignment has gone wrong, the column contents
appear as if there is a large character field at the front of the
file (there isn't).

If I use the extracted metadata to create a new external table
pointing at the same file, it's fine.

Is this a known problem? is there a work-around or fix?
