SQLException: Stream has already been closed (Oracle)

Ok I have an Oracle DB with a table where one column is of type LONG. I have a select statement on that table:

SELECT COL1, COL2

FROM TABLE

WHERE

SOME CONDITION

COL2 is the LONG column.

I get the ResultSet and do:

String col1 = getString(1);

byte[] bytes = getBytes(2);

Sometimes this will work sometimes it throws an SQLException with Stream has already been closed.

This code is hit about 5 times in the one execution of the program but only fails once in about 3 runs of the program.

Has anyone encountered this itermitent behavior before on Oracle 10 using the thick driver?
