Right, the trunk version of marc2bre.pl will automatically set it to
the next available record ID if you don't explicitly set it:

http://svn.open-ils.org/trac/ILS/browser/trunk/Open-ILS/src/extras/import/marc2bre.pl#L76

Hmm, upon reflection we should probably pad that by 100 or 1000 to
avoid conflicts if someone else is manually cataloging records while
marc2bre.pl / direct_ingest.pl / parallel_pg_loader.pl is doing its
work.

After import, though, if you use parallel_pg_loader.pl you still need
to update the sequence with the new maximum ID value.
