Tom, since I am unable to send direct email to you because the larger
63.226.* ip class is blocked by five-ten-sg.com. I only have a small
63.226.186.152/29 block under that, but I get affected too.

If you would like, I can create an account and you can test it out? Do you
have a diff email address we could communicate through?

The error:

  ERROR:  datumGetSize: Invalid typLen 0

doesn't cause a crash on 7.4-snapshot. Is there a way to trace the problem
to see what it's doing? Here is my GCC version:

# gcc -v
Using builtin specs.
gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release) (NetBSD nb3)
