This is actually a server bug, not a driver bug. The server is trying to
do client encoding conversion of binary data, which it shouldn't. Are you
sure you are using version 7.3.9? Here I have 7.3.0, 7.3.1, 7.3.2, and
7.3.9. The only one that has that bug is 7.3.2. I don't know when this
was fixed, but I have no trouble with 7.3.9.
