pg_loopen() error

Hello all,

I'm trying to pull a LO out of a database (7.0.2) on OpenBSD 2.7 with
PHP 3.0.18 + Apache 1.3.12, except I keep getting this error:

Connection="6"
ObjectID="19766"
Warning: Unable to open PostgresSQL large object in
/var/www/htdocs/secure/whdb-test/download.php3 on line 81

Handle=""
PostgreSQL error="ERROR: lo_lseek: invalid large obj descriptor (0) "

The code fragment is:
  echo "<br>Connection=\"$conn\"";
  echo "<br>ObjectID=\"$objectid\"";
  $handle = pg_loopen( $conn, $objectid, "r");
  echo "<br>Handle=\"$handle\"";
  echo "<br>PostgreSQL error=\"".pg_ErrorMessage($conn)."\"";

The LO is there, really!
I can use \lo_export to put it on local disk (diff checks it OK), and the
connection is valid because I pull the objectid out of another table where
objectid is declared as type OID.

Any clues? Known bug in pg_loopen? Pilot error?
