Pro*C bug?

Hello. I was wondering if anyone out there had experience with attempting to get data from a RAW through Pro*C, where the data length of the raw was greater than 16k.

RAWs can hold up to 32k, and hence Pro*C limits the size of a VARCHAR array that can be filled from a RAW to size 32767. However, because Oracle converts the raw data to a character hexadecimal representation when doing the RAW -> VARCHAR conversion, each byte in the original raw now takes two characters -- and hence, the data one can access is effectively reduced to 16k!

Is this completely incorrect?? Anyone else have this problem?
