Ok,
In doing my part I grabbed the latest CVS snapshot, and made the
modifications suggested below.

I did not find the getBlob(int) function but one called getBlob(boolean)

So I made the modifications, and compiled using ant. I tested out the
new driver, and I got the same results.

To me that function looks strange since it can be passed a value, but
the value is not used in the function. So why pass anything?

Anyhow I am pretty sure I made the modification suggested in the right
place and do not know where to go or look from here.

So if you or anyone else has any ideas I will swap out the code,
compile, and test. As I am barely learning the C API, I do not think I
can be much help other than as a tester. But I will do my part to test
if needed.

Especially since I am the one complaining. :)

Thanks for the suggestions, and let me know if you have any others or
ideas.
