Thanks, should be fixed in CVS.  I've also added some sanity checks which might

Summary:  validateForUpdate breaks NSData attributes

Original Submission:  Validation of updates silently changes the content of any 
NSData attributes, whether they have been changed or not.

the problem is caused by the validation of attributes, which erroneously tries 
to convert attribute values to the adaptor value type.  this coercion is not 
only unnecessary, but also breaks any attribute which stores as 
EOAdaptorBytesType 

Patch attached.
