Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.6.ds1-13etch2
The following command is taken from a test case from the php5 source
package:
echo -e
"\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d"
\
| iconv -f CP932 -t EUC-JP//TRANSLIT
The output of this command is different depending on the locale of the
calling user. If I call this command in a UTF-8 locale, I get the behavior
expected by the php test case. If I call it in a C locale, I get a
different output (a series of question marks). If I call it in an ISO8859-1
locale, I get yet a different output.
I don't see any reason that the behavior of iconv should be dependent on the
locale in which it's invoked.

I am able to reproduce the problem with eglibc version 2.9, but not with
version 2.10.1 where the output is the same for C, ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8
locales. I am therefore closing the bug.
