exception in decodeUTF8

Please reply to email dmykola(at)hpcerc(dot)unm(dot)edu

Hey,
We are using PostgreSQL 7.3 JDBC driver, JDK 1.1. Everything works fine execmpt one ow. Actually one cell in a row.
Table defined as
CREATE TABLE IAProtocolSpotAttrName
(
IAProtocolName VARCHAR(64) NOT NULL,
DBAttrName VARCHAR(64) NOT NULL,
FileAttrNAme VARCHAR(64) NOT NULL,
DataType VARCHAR(8) NOT NULL,
OrderID SMALLINT NOT NULL
);

One the row inserted as
INSERT INTO IAProtocolSpotAttrName
VALUES ('GenePixAll', 'Rgn_R2', 'Rgn R²', 'number', 33);

The cell with 'Rgn R²' is a problem. When I try to run getObject for that cell, have an error:

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 6
java.lang.String org.postgresql.core.Encoding.decodeUTF8(byte[], int,int)
Encoding.java:259
java.lang.String org.postgresql.core.Encoding.decode(byte[], int, int)

Ideas?
