This bug has been fixed as of Monday.  They (Hackers group) have also fixed a big hairy bug with the backend.  If you
usethe anonymous cvs to checkout the latest snapshot, you will
 
find an ImageViewer.java example that works, the blobtest.java works also.

I also use code such as this to work fine:

 // The UPDATE statement to be used for populating the item_picture and // item_descr columns String itemUpdateStmt =
"UPDATEitem SET item_picture = ?, item_descr = ?"+  " WHERE item_num = ?";  // Create a PreparedStatement object & use
itto update the item_picture  // and item_descr columns in the item table  PreparedStatement updateStmt =
conn.prepareStatement(itemUpdateStmt);  // File names for the image & text files   String itemPictureFileName =
("item_"+ new Integer(i).toString()            + ".gif");   String itemDescrFileName = ("item_" + new
Integer(i).toString()         + ".txt");
 
   // java.io.File objects corresponding to the image & text files   File itemPictureFile = new
File(itemPictureFileName);  File itemDescrFile = new File(itemDescrFileName);
 
   // Byte arrays to store text & byte data for the item_picture and   // item_descr columns   byte itemPictureArray []
=new byte[(int)itemPictureFile.length()];   String itemDescrString = "";
 
   // Using java.io.FileInputStream to reading the image & text files   // into byte arrays   FileInputStream
itemPictureInputStream= new    FileInputStream(itemPictureFile);   itemPictureInputStream.read(itemPictureArray, 0,
    (int)itemPictureFile.length());
 
   FileReader fr = new FileReader(itemDescrFile);   BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);   String lineIn;
while((lineIn = br.readLine()) != null)    itemDescrString += lineIn;
 
   // Set the values of the parameters & execute the statement   updateStmt.setBytes(1, itemPictureArray);
updateStmt.setString(2,itemDescrString);   updateStmt.setInt(3, i);   updateStmt.executeUpdate();
 


Then to read/view the image, I do:
    // read the image from the resultset    byte itemPictureArray [] = queryResults.getBytes(2);     Image img =
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(itemPictureArray);    itemPictureCanvas.setImage(img);
itemPictureCanvas.repaint();
