Object serialization

I got a problem with JDBC driver and object serialization, similar to the one
described in
http://www.postgresql.org/mhonarc/pgsql-interfaces/1999-09/msg00053.html
When i call create() methods, i got a NullPointerException.
Looking at the JDBC driver source, i trace the problem to Resultset.getString()
methods, where there is a test on this_row property, that is null.
As i hesitate to change the driver myself, i wonder if the problem was resolved
since.
Thanks
