Actually I found that the Postgres length function returns the string
length (i.e. number of digits) of a number, so my previous message was
wrong about the byte length of an oid. AFAIK they are 4 byte integers.
I have found a way to retrieve oids without crashing Python or Zope. You
must do an explicit type conversion to a 4 byte integer like so:
SELECT int4(oid) FROM foo;
This behaves in a much friendlier manner. I would still like to see the
problem resolved, as I find the fact that an innocuous SELECT query
could crash Zope a bit troubling.
