The column width bug was fixed in 6.5.2, so it should return the correct
result. However, the 6.5.2 driver won't work with 6.2.1, as they use a
different protocol.
As for MultiByte strings, you need to compile the backend to accept them
(someone correct me if I'm wrong here).

Don't know why you're asking me - I'm not involved in JDBC nor am I in the multibyte stuff.
I've included the hackers list into this response - maybe someone else can comment on it?
