[Bucardo-general] BYTEA columns not synchronized correctly

[Christian Kaltepoth]

Dear Bucardo team,

first of all thank you for all your work on this great software. I just
started to use Bucardo but I'm really impressed how great everything
works.

But unfortunately we have one major problem. We have on table containing
a BYTEA column that doesn't sync correctly using 'swap' mode. Let me try
to describe the problem.

If we insert a new row into the corresponding table the data looks like
this:

\x30820247308201b0020900a82498c179eef339300d06092a864886f70d0101050
5003068310b3009060355040613024445310c300a060355040813034e5257311130
0f06035504071308446f72746d756e643110300e060355040a1307696e67656e697
431143012060355040b130.....

This data is correct. I manually decoded the HEX representation and
confirmed that the data is exactly the data we wrote to the database.

The column is then automatically duplicated to the second host, but on
the second host the data gets messed up. The row on the second host
contains completely different binary data:

\x78333038323032343733303832303162303032303930306138323439386331373
9656566333339333030643036303932613836343838366637306430313031303530
3530303330363833313062333030393036303335353034303631333032343434353
33130633330306130363033353530...

We used the psql command line client on both hosts to get this HEX
representation out of the database.

Two things about the broken data is eye catching:

      * The total length of the broken HEX representation on the second
        host is twice as long as the correct HEX representation on the
        first host.
      * The broken data doesn't contain a single letter character (A-F)
        which is very strange for a HEX representation.

Do you have any idea what is causing this?

Some details about my setup.

      * CentOS 6.2 Minimal Install
      * Bucardo 4.4.8
      * PostgreSQL 9.0.7

Thanks for your help


Christian
