Following the old "free as much of your resources as early as possible",
I added calls to Blob.free() and Clob.free() in finally clauses after
the Blob.getBytes(long,int) and Clob.getSubString(long,int) calls. But
Clob.free() throws an "invalid LOB locator" if and when length() returned
zero. Where is this behaviour documented? Or is it a bug? For now I
changed the code to only free() if length() > 0, but I don't feel too
comfortable with this "solution".
