Henning,
If I remember correctly, the OBJECTDATA fields were being abandoned
because they cause problems for portability.  In particular, there
are a number of hacks in the code to make Postgresql play nicely
with them and the hacks seem to cause endless trouble for those who
use Postgresql.  So I think it was removed purposefully, but from
the sound of your description it may not have been removed
completely.
