I think this happens when the front-end encoding is SQL_ASCII and the
database is using UNICODE.  Then, there are misunderstandings between
front-end and back-end, so that a single character with the eighth bit
set may be sent by the front-end and interpreted by the back-end as the
first half of a UNICODE two-byte character.
