Re: PGobject returned from ResultSet.getObject

Kevin,

Can you give us more information. Is this using a pool, threads?

Basically the type information comes back in the protocol, so it
would appear that is getting scribbled on.

It would be interesting to see if the rest of the fields are still
good after the bad one?
