getObject() returns integer instead of LargeObject handle ?

Hi,

 Is there some good reason for getObject(<some oid column>) to return the
bare oid integer instead of the actual LargeObject handle ?

 I slightly modified the driver as below and it fixed my Blob issues
without any other side-effects. Would have some extensive testing
shown some problems I missed ?  Sorry for not being very familiar with
Postgres' oids.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Marc.
