"Funny error message" is not very scientific. Debugging, on the other
hand, needs to be quite scientific.

Knowledge of your metadata would be rather helpful here. I suggest trying
to make sense of your "funny error message" and to look first at the tables
having the most interesting things going on at trigger time. As a pointer
to what you might be looking for, one or more or these dependent tables
might have other tables dependent on them that do not have cascades defined.
