This truncation bug may be fixable.

But, don't expect it to be possible to define an SSQLS with "200 floats 
in binary format" and have the one BLOB field be busted out into those 
200 individual fields.  SSQLS requires a 1:1 relationship between fields 
in your structure and fields in the database.

I've put your truncation bug on the Wishlist.  Since it's your itch, 
you're in the best position to scratch it.  I don't have any idea when I 
can get around to it.
