I suppose you've seen the answer in the bug report. But just for the
sake of completeness I repeat it here.

CONNECT does not read rows several times. But in the CSV file format,
rows can have different lengths and CONNECT cannot directly know how
many rows your table has. So, it *estimates* the number of rows by
dividing the file length by the minimal row length (which it can
calculate from the table definition).

Sergei
