Odd delete behavior in 7.0beta1

Any idea whether this is (a) a bug in 7.0beta1 or (b)
me being an idiot (happens to the best of us..).

System: Fresh build of 7.0beta1 on a redhat 6.0 system

In summary: Delete behavior doesn't jibe with update and
select behavior. In fact, I can't get delete to work
at all in this situation.

Details:

sm=> \d parameters
Table "parameters"
Attribute | Type | Modifier
-------------+---------------+-----------
casno | char(15) | not null
parameter | text | not null
status | integer | default 0
mf | varchar(50) |
mw | numeric(10,3) |
tsca | integer | default 0
epa_inv | char(2) |
ohvap | integer | default 0
bustr | integer | default 0
saraiii | integer | default 0
description | text |
uses | text |
Indices: pkprm, (NOTE: pkprm is primary key on casno)
xparm (NOTE: xparm is a btree index on parameter)

sm=> insert into parameters (casno,parameter) values ('0000-00-0','METHYL ETHYL DOGPOOP');
INSERT 199287 1
sm=> explain update parameters set parameter = 'METHYL ETHYL PUPPYPOOP' where casno = '0000-00-0';
NOTICE: QUERY PLAN:

UPDATE 1
sm=> delete from parameters where casno = '0000-00-0';

Other than this bit, 7.0 looks peachy. Peachy enough for me to finally
completely ditch Sybase (there was much rejoicing). Good work all.
