What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. create a sqlobject class column as StringCol(default=None, notNone=0)
2. using sqlobject 0.8.1 (I think) run the fixture command to produce rows
of some value for this column

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

the field is reproduced as <read-only buffer for 0xb7f82200, size 18708,
offset 0 at 0xb79eaf60> but should be a triple quoted text block
