Funny.

Sure. 3.6.1. By the time that one was created this was the
only available version.

So you suspect an inconsistency within the DB?

I mean: this DB contains quite some work. There's a backup
of it in certain time frames (normally a yearly one at the
least), but if such a problem could arrise, would you
suggest that I dump it to pgn and reimport it?

This is done as I recently added the 2007 slice.
