Running it with 10.2 caused this error and the test to fail miserably, so at first glance looked like a serious regression. Dan pointed out that the test probably needs to be changed to not retrieve the lob twice and then it will be ok again, but of course it would be good to verify that sooner rather than later.
I think it is ok to take it out of the regression test failure category. I'll go ahead and do so. Kathey
