[EP-tech] Re: Issues following database change (possibly...)

Okay, update here...

Nothing to do with my changes whatsoever! This is apparently an issue that
we’ve simply not noticed yet and would appear to be related to the
AuthorID script trying to process some data that it’s not expecting. This
could be something coming through from LDAP. Does the generate_views
script write any kind of data dump, or is there a way to get it to do
this, so that I can check what it’s trying to process at the point that it
falls over?
