Hah! If I create the test database with encoding WIN1252 then your
test fails as described. It *should* be complaining that it doesn't
know how to convert from ISO-8859-1 to WIN1252, but BeginCopyFrom
is neglecting to check for failure of FindDefaultConversionProc.
Will fix that, thanks for the report.
In the meantime, if use of WIN1252 was intentional then you'll need
to find another way to transcode the data that was in that encoding.
Probably, running your database in UTF8 is the best choice -- we
can convert most anything to that.
