"It's worse than that, Jim."

The overflow appears to be happening somewhere inside 
DBIx::SearchBuilder::Handle.  DBIx::Searchbuilder::Record calls

      $self->_Handle->Insert($self->Table, %attribs);

and that expression evaluates to the rolled-over ticket number. I'm
confused at that point, though --

$self->_Handle is an instance of DBIx::SearchBuilder::Handle, and
DBIx::SearchBuilder::Handle::Insert returns a statement handle, not a
value:

      my $sth =  $self->SimpleQuery($QueryString, @bind);
      return($sth);

And $sth *is* a DBD::st instance right before it's returned. Where
does the magic happen to make

      $self->_Handle->Insert($self->Table, %attribs);

return a scalar?

I'm not sure what I'm missing there, so I'm going to break for a bit.
