No, this is the default initial buffer size and the buffer is automatically
expanded as needed.

Which version of ODB are you using? We fixed a bug that affected this
mechanism in version 1.6.0 so if you are using something earlier, you
will need to upgrade.

If you are already using 1.6.0 or later then I will need more information
on how to reproduce this. Does it happen when you call load() or some
other database function? Ideally I would need a small test case that
reproduces this problem (you can use one of the examples as a base, if
you want).
