Current case is completely different IMO. iconv(handle,0,0,0,0) is a valid
use for any valid handle - that's stated in manuals. It's impossible that AW
is guilty, glibc from MDK is.

Of course CVS is the right thing, but I don't know how it performs on
connections that break often. So it's safer for me to use patches from your
page.

Very very strange.
My AW is linked with libiconv, and yours? I think this can be the only reason
for differences in behaviour.
I will look again into the code and force linking with glibc's iconv after I
downloaded nightly diffs.
