[ shrug... ] I don't know your code; I was thinking about garden variety
bugs in your ruby script. However, if you can make it happen just
through psql \copy then that theory seems to lose its luster :-(

Something else that might be worth looking at: have you got any
user-written BEFORE INSERT triggers on that table? A trigger that
sometimes returned NULL would explain the symptoms.
