As a temporary workaround, I decided to duplicate my appserver
validation into a PRE-COMMIT trigger in the block of the form on the
client side.

Now I would have expected that if called abort there, that the message
would be displayed to the user and the COMMIT be abandoned.  But it the
call to abort seems to be ignored!  (I've added 'print "Aborting!"' to
verify that the abort is being called.)

I'll now try to debug this.
