Description:
UPDATE a blob column with load_file() or with a long string.

How to repeat:
drop table if exists teste;
create table teste ( id integer auto_increment unique,imagem LONGBLOB not null);
insert into teste (id) values (1);
update teste set imagem=load_file("/mnt/mail/archive/slike/pic1.jpg") where id=1;
select if(imagem is null, "ERRO", "OK") from teste where id = 1;
drop table if exists teste;

Suggested fix:
