FYI. This should have gone to the pgsql-jdbc mail list instead of
pgsql-general.
What version are you using? This area of the code has undergone some
significant work in 7.2. I would suggest you try using the 7.2 jdbc
code (which will run fine against a 7.1 database). Also look at the 7.2
documentation as it also has been updated significantly in this area.
I cannot reproduce your problem using the 7.2 drivers given the test
case below.
