It's probably a ctlib incompatibility, or incomplete implementation.
For CS_REAL_TYPE, CS_FLOAT_TYPE, CS_MONEY_TYPE and CS_MONEY4_TYPE I
bind the result type to a CS_FLOAT_TYPE. So if the convert() function
does not support the float->double conversion (for whatever reason)
then this will likely fail. I'll take a look at the tds code.
