Actually that was a remnant of another row! But it was just the sanity
check I needed.
The SQL *IS* fine. It *IS* the PDO:firebird driver that is at fault!

I'd bypassed the check when the target database was empty, and now that
there is data in there, the SQL is giving the right numbers, so now I
need to find out why 'PDO:fetch' is crashing apache ....
