Re: NULL Blob column error - PATCH FIX

Originally I thought this was going to be worse than I thought since I'm not
familiar with the fastpath code at all. However, a check of ResultSet.java
shows that the null check simply was not being done for getBlob().
Therefore, this patch for 7.2.2 will resolve the "FastPath call returned
ERROR: inv_open: large object 0 not found" exception when retrieving
Blob/OID that is NULL. I noted that this bug remains in the latest CVS as
well.
