That would come from src/ctlib/cs.c, line 650. It's a bit messy: it
writes to stderr instead of calling the client's error handler. But it
gets the point across, I suppose.

I think you're trying to convert a BIGINT to a string (possibly
implicitly, through binding). The character buffer is not big enough.
The conversion function that emits this message returns CS_FAIL. That
should be passed back to your application.
HTH.
