Description Nick Lamb 2005-12-10 01:18:56 UTC 
Internally the convert() function of CONVERT() returns an error instead of
writing it to a variable passed by reference. The result was a nasty crash.

To reproduce, type something like =CONVERT(8.5,"ft","sec") into a cell

To fix, I will attach a patch against 1.6.1

Fixed in cvs, a little different from your patch, but the same idea.
