Create View failing

I am trying to play with views. Every time I try to create one I get a
message like this:

ERROR: pg_atoi: error reading "3642040800": Numerical result out of range

The reported number is incremented by a small amount each time. Here is the
create statement:

create view ordertotals as select * from orders;

The orignal statement was more complex (and useful) but I simplified it to
try and narrow down the problem. I always get the same error message.

Here is the definition of the 'orders' table.
ec=# \d orders
