------------------------------------------------
Bug in libpq (IMHO).

When I've got large object id (oid) from table any attempt to
open it with lo_open (lo_export) returns -1 (perrno = 2 - not found).

But using of built-in lo_import/lo_export 
(insert into xxx values(lo_import('file')) or select lo_export(lobj_id))
successful.


Please describe a way to repeat the problem.   Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

create table tmp (lobj oid);

insert into tmp values(lo_import('some_file'));

select lobj from tmp;
lobj
------
xxxxxx

//------------- problem.c ----------------

#include <stdio.h>
#include "libpq-fe.h"
#include "libpq/libpq-fs.h"

void main()
{
  PGconn *dbConn = PQsetdb(NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, "database");
  if(PQstatus(dbConn) == CONNECTION_BAD)
  {
    fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", PQerrorMessage(dbConn));
    exit(1);
  }

  if(lo_export(dbConn, xxxxxx, "/tmp/lobj") < 0) 
    fprintf(stderr, "Can't export lobj\n"); //we'll get here

  if(lo_open(dbConn, xxxxxx, INV_READ) < 0)
    fprintf(stderr, "Can't even open lobj\n"); //we'll get here

  PQfinish(dbConn);
}
