5.2.5 WOULD have the problem with blob_id. If you 'dump' the number that
is generated as a blob_id, you will get a character string rather than a
simple number.

The problem seems to be that the fix applied ( which simply rolls back
the change made to the code ) does not seem to be working every time. I
have tested 5.2.6 onwards and they all worked - on my SUSE machine, but
the same code is not now working on Fedora. Hence a later post on the
list here.

Personally it's not a problem since I only need text from the blobs, and
the IBASE_TEXT work around gets me operational again. But we do need to
get to the bottom of what is going on. The original changes to the code
where more for 'style' reasons than anything practical ( we should be
doing it this way ... so I've changed it everywhere ... but I'm not
testing that it still works :( ) however it does seem to highlight that
there is an underlying reason as to the fact it does need changing.
