That sounds annoying, but it's not a PostgreSQL bug.

I don't really know anything about the JDBC driver, but the closest
thing I see here:

http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download/

...is a link to
http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download/postgresql-8.1-407.jdbc3.jar, with
a date of 23-May-2006.  So yeah, updating might be a good idea.  If
you're still on PG 8.1, updating that might be a REALLY good idea,
though it probably won't do anything for you on this particular issue.

I would suggest asking on pgsql-jdbc; not too many jdbc folks reading
this list, AFAICT.
