I am getting an "invalid input syntax for type double precision" error when I 
return an array as part of a composite type from my C-language function. I can 
re-create this situation with just a type and a function.

My type is declared as follows:

CREATE TYPE my_grid AS (min_x double precision, min_y double precision, max_x 
double precision, max_y double precision, my_arr double precision[][]);

My function is defined as:

CREATE FUNCTION my_test()
RETURNS void AS $$
DECLARE
mine                      my_grid;
BEGIN

                SELECT INTO mine (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4,'{{88.9}}'::double 
precision[][])::my_grid;
END
$$
LANGUAGE plpgsql
SECURITY DEFINER
SET search_path = public;


To get the error, I run the following query:

SELECT MY_TEST();

If I do a plain "SELECT (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4,'{{88.9}}'::double 
precision[][])::my_grid;" everything looks good.

Any help would be appreciated.
