So you're saying that iconv dies sometimes if all arguments are not
NULL? In this case, all of the arguments are NULL, and this seems to be
permitted by the manpage:
A third case is when inbuf is NULL or *inbuf is NULL, and
outbuf is NULL or *outbuf is NULL. In this case, the iconv
function sets cd's conversion state to the initial state.
Why is it suddenly OK to execute this code if cjk_locale() is set?
