I am encountering a very strange client encoding issue.
>From the logs on the server, I am getting the following:

canopy02# tail postgresql-2008-01-16_000000.log
2008-01-16 15:20:03 ESTERROR: conversion between latin9 and LATIN1 is

The application logging data is using the PostgreSQL ANSI ODBC driver,
version 08.01.02.00.
Database server is PostgreSQL 8.2.5 on i386-portbld-freebsd6.2, compiled
by GCC cc (GCC) 3.4.6 [FreeBSD] 20060305

On page 2 of the datasources tab, in the Connect Settings tab, I have
the following:

set client_encoding to 'latin1';

to force the encoding.
Any ideas on what may be creating this, and how to resolve it?
