Turns out someone put a .psqlrc with autocommit off in /etc/skel when the box was originally set up as a replacement for our previous app server. Account users were created afterwards, and the change propagated to our application account as well as all of our individual accounts. Why, though, would `SHOW AUTOCOMMIT` lie? And `SET AUTOCOMMIT TO off` says that capability is disabled. So how does the config file manage to do it?
