I have a rather large schema that I'm trying to use SQL::Translator (sqlt) to create a diagram of with. When I run the sqlt command 

 sqlt -f PostgreSQL -t Diagram bcdc-schema.sql

[download]
I get the rather annoying error message: 
Error: translate: Error with parser 'SQL::Translator::Parser::PostgreS
+QL': Couldn't create table 'state': Can't create table: "" exists at 
+/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/SQL/Translator/Parser/PostgreSQL.pm li
+ne 934.

Anybody else run into this? Thoughts?

The table in question is defined as: 

CREATE TABLE state (
    state_id serial NOT NULL,
    abbr character varying(2) DEFAULT ''::character varying NOT NULL,
    name character varying(40) DEFAULT ''::character varying NOT NULL
);

Is "state" a reserved word in SQL::Translator?
