[Bug libc/1383] iconv doesn't detect invalid UTF-8 input as early as possible


------- Additional Comments From egmont at uhulinux dot hu  2005-10-14 10:01 -------
Oh holy shit, I really fucked it up. Sorry for that.

(The strange thing is that I tried to catch a bug in vte: for slow input
it behaves exactly as described above, internally it converts from UTF-8 to
UCS-4, and it detects its invalidness too late, when some more bytes have also
arrived, just as at the thought-to-be-false test case I described. So the
behavior of iconv seemed to perfectly explain why vte behaved incorrectly.
Now I see I was completely wrong and the bug has to be somewhere in vte.

Sorry again for bothering you with such a stupid bugreport (really).
