This is the backend trying to allocate a very large string for some

And this is the protocol stream getting out of sync, possibly because of
the above error.

Can you try with the latest (build 310) driver and see if the problem
persists?

If so, can you send a testcase that demonstrates the problem? Or at
least the query code that fails plus the complete exception you get.
