 Any integer field in a PostGIS table is exported as numeric with 4 digits
 only in the dbf-file, resulting in a data loss for numbers larger than
 9999. The table view in QGIS shows the correct numbers, though.
 Defect has been reproduced on Win2K and OpenSuse 10.3, so I assume all
 platforms are affected. Server is Postgres 8.2.4 with PostGIS 1.2.1.
