 This actually happens on some older libc's. You end up with an exception
 complaining about iconv not supporting ANSI_X3.4-1968, when in fact the
 issue is a lack of support for UTF-16, which should be either ignorable or
 reported more accurately. Gah, I'm too tired to explain the issue in more
 detail right now; poke me and I'll expand later if necessary.
