Hi, according to http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xsh/iconv.html If a sequence of input bytes does not form a valid character in the specified codeset, conversion stops after the previous successfully converted character. So iconv does its job, and this bugreport should be closed. Denis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
