out of memory error when selecting column type longtext

I've been using DBD-MySQL for a long time and I just ran across this 
error.  So I get an error (two + exit code actually) when I execute the 
following code.

    $sth = $sakai_dbh->prepare("SELECT s.SHORT_DESC ".
                               "FROM SAKAI_SITE s " .
                               "WHERE s.TYPE='course' ");
    $sth->execute();
    while (($curr) = $sth->fetchrow_array()) { ### WE DIE HERE ON THE 
FIRST ITERATION! ###
       ...
    }
    $sth->finish();

s.SHORT_DESC is a of type LONGTEXT, and when I select other entities of 
that type I get the same error.  Though, I can select anything not of 
type LONGTEXT from this database no problem.
The error:
       Out of memory!
    Out of memory!
    Callback called exit.

I am using Perl 5.8.8, on Fedora Core 5 Linux 2.6, MySQL 4.1, Perl:DBI 
1.51, and DBD-mysql-3.0006_1.  Modifying the database is out of the 
question in this particular case.

Has anyone seen, fixed, or gotten around this?  Should I file a bug report?

Thanks in advance,
    .Gerow
