pgAdmin v1.8.4 editing binary data in 'view data'

Is there a way to re-enable the editing of binary data in 1.8.4 ?

We were running old versions of pgAdmin (pre v1.6.0), and actively
used the View Data option on tables to edit the binary data within a
couple tables.  Binary Data entries were typically pretty small, under
512 bytes most of the time.

We've upgraded to 1.8.4 and noted that all the binary data columns are
now just <binary data> and can't be edited.

Postgres versions 8.0, 8.2.4, and 8.3.3 are in use as backends.
pgAdmin III running on Windows 2000 systems.

No - it was disabled because it was very far from safe.
