Do you have a sample of what you receive? E.g. the first 100 bytes
with a "print repr(cur.fetchone()[0][:100])"?
Could you be in the problematic situation of a PostgreSQL 9.0 with the
previous version on the client? The problems is detailed in a faq at
<http://initd.org/psycopg/docs/faq.html#problems-with-type-conversions>,
see "Transferring binary data from PostgreSQL 9.0 doesn’t work".
