I've been using LOs with great success since 7.1--there are no current
problems with it, though the API is a little convoluted. I prefer
them to bytea fields becauser you're not forced to load the whole
thing into memory either on the server or client side (I work with
multi-megabyte data files). I use Java on the client.

Have you read the bytea docs on proper quoting? Is your PHP install
up to date? Older versions would truncate queries at 8k I think...
