Thanks guys. I think I see now. I was thinking it was a more transparent
pass-by-value / pass-by-reference thing.
Anyway I solved my problem by going back into my comfort zone and
explicitly return a record and I'm not using OUT parameters. They're
aren't what I thought they were and I'm working on a tight schedule, so
I don't have much toim m eto explre. The compiler seems happier without
them, and when it's happy, I'm happy.

I'm having some difficulty getting plpgsql to recognize a function with

You are passing four IN paramaters. The out paramaters are used in
return are they not?
You'd need to do something like
SELECT * INTO num, fnum FROM fishy(str1, str2) ;
OUT parameters in PG are just syntactic sugar for defining a
record-returning function. The call syntax still works as if you'd
written CREATE FUNCTION foo (IN-parameters-only) RETURNS some-record-type.
