Invalid memory alloc querying field type bytea

I’m getting errors when I query a table that uses data type bytea.  I can query the table if I don’t include the field for data type bytea.  Here are the two error messages I get.  The first error is one generated from visual studio:

"ERROR: XX000: invalid memory alloc request size 1294068297"

This error is what I get when I use pgAdmin:

“ERROR:  invalid memory alloc request size 1881675850

SQL state: XX000”

Please let me know if you need any additional information to determine if this is a bug.  Thanks.
