I don't have any experience with external tables, but I wonder if you
did an "alter table your_external_table project column all" and then ran
the two selects again if that would make them match?  For more info on
the "project column all" and "project column referenced" clauses:

         Oracle 9.2.0.6 64-bit on Sparc-Solaris 9. 

        I have an external table.  If I select * from table, I get 3,371
rows.  If I select count(*), I get 3,631??
