CHAR(n) and VARCHAR(n) and the Type 4 driver returns the right string.

The problem is not in returning full string (with spaces) but in wrong
length of string (if charset is UNICODE).
For example: I have in DB preferred language ("EN" for English, "DE" for
Germany etc.) When I want to access ResourceBundle, I need "EN" but receive
"EN " and ResourceBundle is not found. In DB is language declared as
CHAR(2) but driver returns more characters.

Difference is only one - I use "Firebird-1.0.1.821-0-SS.i386.rpm".
