The code has always set this column to NULL when it's not valid, but the catalog header's description failed to reflect that, as did the SGML docs, as did some of the code. To prevent future coding errors of the same ilk, let's hide the field from C code as though it were variable-length (which, in a sense, it is). As with commit 72eab84a, we can only fix this cleanly in HEAD and v13; the problem extends further back but we'll need some klugery in the released branches.
