This is probably an accident, resulting from my implementation of
tdserror().  I think we want TDSEICONVIU instead.  Thank you for finding
it.

I took the value of EXCONVERSION from Sybase; it's used for things like
SYBECOFL ("Data conversion resulted in overflow").  When I originally
wrote the iconv code, I guess I didn't pass the right values to
tds_client_msg().  Using a severity of 16 is a habit of mine.  So the
current severity of 4 is more correct IMO.
