Problem with JDBC and blobtest

I am getting a NullPointerException when running blobtest. I am using the latest version of everything:

- postgresql 6.5
- jdk 1.2
- jdbc6.5-1.2
- the version of blobtest.java that came with postgresql 6.5
- OS: RH6.0
- x86 (AMD K6)

Here's what happens when I run the program:

[ellen(at)ellen Work]$ jdb blobtest "jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/webdb" ellen foo debug

The line that generates the exception (blobtest.java:105) is indicated below:

// copy the data
System.out.println("Copying file to large object");
byte buf[] = new byte[2048];
int s,tl=0;
while((s=fis.read(buf,0,2048))>0) {
System.out.println("Block size="+s+" offset="+tl);
*** obj.write(buf,0,s);
tl+=s;
}

Any ideas?
