Hi,
I was converting my files from UTF8 to UTF16, and I noticed that the "iconv"
utility corrupted all files over 17 KB. For files between 17 KB and 117 KB, it
did not even display an error message. For a file of 117 KB, I received :
Erreur du bus
(I suppose the original text is "Bus error".) Here is the command I used :
iconv --from-code=utf8 --to-code=utf-16 --output=file.ext file.ext
where file.ext is the same file (it is both the input and the output.)
