Postgres 7.3b1 + JDBC3 (2002-09-05) truncates SQL commands?

hi

i have a very wired problem.
when i try to execute the following SQL command:

INSERT INTO SERIES
(seriesDateTime,modality,seriesnumber,seriesinstanceuid,seriesdescr,bodypartexamined,slicethickness,sequencename,viewdirection,studytype,fieldofview,contrastAgent,numberseriesrelatedimages,manufacturermodel,stuParent,insertTimestamp)
VALUES ('2002-05-07 14:34:12.0', 'MR', '2',
'1.2.804.114118.1.20020507.143415.2812940098.1.1', 'SCRAPBOOK', '',
'006.000000E+00', 'b0_1000', 'HEAD', 'MEA', '261*261', '', 0, 'MAGNETOM
Harmony', '1.3.12.2.1107.5.2.5.10288.20020426150938000', '2002-09-17
11:07:30.293');

via the JDBC3 beta driver for postgres 7.3b1 i get the following error.

2002-09-17 11:07:30 [24588] LOG: query: INSERT INTO SERIES
(seriesDateTime,modality,seriesnumber,seriesinstanceuid,seriesdescr,bodypartexamined,slicethickness,sequencename,viewdirection,studytype,fieldofview,contrastAgent,numberseriesrelatedimages,manufacturermodel,stuParent,insertTimestamp)
VALUES ('2002-05-07 14:34:12.0', 'MR', '2',
'1.2.804.114118.1.20020507.143415.2812940098.1.1', 'SCRAPBOOK
2002-09-17 11:07:30 [24588] ERROR: parser: unterminated quoted string
at or near "'SCRAPBOOK" at character 349
2002-09-17 11:07:30 [24588] LOG: statement: INSERT INTO SERIES

'1.2.804.114118.1.20020507.143415.2812940098.1.1', 'SCRAPBOOK

it seems as if the SQL command was truncated.
i added and removed some spaces to the command. it is always trunctated
ryt where the ' behind SCRAPBOOK is supposed to be.
so it doesn't seem to be some fixed character number (i.e. due to some
undersizes buffer) after which the statment is truncated.
the exact same programm/statment works on an IBM DB/2 db without
problems, btw.

I was wondering if this is maybe a known problem in the 7.3b1 release of
postgresql or the beta jdbc driver.

PS:

some additional information, maybe it is usefull.

table definition:
CREATE TABLE
SERIES
(

seriesdatetime timestamp NOT
NULL, modality
VARchar(16) NOT NULL,
seriesnumber VARchar(12) NOT NULL,
seriesinstanceuid VARchar(64) NOT
NULL, seriesdescr
VARchar(64) ,
bodypartexamined VARchar(16) ,
slicethickness numeric(30,6)
, sequencename
VARchar(16) ,
studytype VARchar(16) ,
viewdirection VARchar(16)
, fieldofview
VARchar(32) ,
contrastAgent VARchar(16) ,
numberseriesrelatedimages integer NOT
NULL, manufacturermodel VARchar(64)
, stuParent
VARchar(64) NOT NULL,
insertTimestamp timestamp NOT NULL );
CREATE INDEX SERIES_SERIES_X ON SERIES (seriesinstanceuid);
