7.0.3 has a limit of 8KB by default. Version 7.1 does not have any limit.

I wouldn't recommende blobs/lobs. You can recompile 7.0.3 with a BLOCKSIZE
of 32KB instead of 8KB or you can use version 7.1RC2 which you can find in
ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/dev
The 7.1 Release Candidate 2 is quite stable.
