>  The bug is in O.P.'s code as &s is not being passed to mbrtowc.

>From http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/mbrtowc.html:
"If ps is a null pointer, the mbrtowc() function shall use its own
internal mbstate_t object, which shall be initialized at program
start-up to the initial conversion state."

The test also fails when passing &s instead. (I'd accidentally left in
the local mb_state.)
