From the TOAST page (http://www.postgresql.org/projects/devel-toast.html)
"The PostgreSQL database system has a very old, deeply hardwired
limitation. It is the fact, that each row of every table must fit into the
on-disk blocksize, which is 8K by default. Unfortunately, changing the
blocksize has a number of unwanted side effects, and currently blocksizes
are limited to a maximum of 32K. So this cannot be the solution. "
You'll have to use long objects, or the TOAST stuff.
