[Bug libc/10460] New: "iconv" corrupts all files over 17 KB from UTF8 to UTF16

["murielle dot descerisiers at gmail dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

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.)
