... but it is still wrong. The ISO C and POSIX specification of mbrtowc() [http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/functions/mbrtowc.html] implies that the mbrtowc() function is free to look at 'n' bytes, starting from the beginning of the string. In other words, the caller of the function has to guarantee that 'n' bytes can be accessed. Passing blindly n = xFFFF can crash your program.
