A quick sum over the returned values seems to indicate that it's too
large to not have a toast table. Adding up attlen and atttypmod gives a
value of 1283. Considering that there additionally has to be VARHDRSZ
space for the varlena header and that the maximum storage size for a
varchar(n) is n * pg_encoding_max_length(GetDatabaseEncoding()) (usually
4) this seems to indicate that bad things[tm] have been done to the
database.
I suggest you write a script that does a 'ALTER TABLE $tbl ADD COLUMN
toastme text; ALTER TABLE $tbl DROP COLUMN toastme' for all tables.
