+See also my comment on bug 23951 - this is because iconv() tries
+to convert the string from UTF-8 to UTF-16le and the `u-umlaut' is
+not a valid UTF-8 character.
+
+So IMO this is not a bug in the runtime, but in the class 
+libraries/MCS - iconv_open() is called with "UTF-8" as source and 
+"UTF-16le" as target - so it's correct to throw an error (of course 
+it should throw an exception and not g_assert_not_reached ()).
+
+MCS/the class library must determine the encoding of the input file
+and then make sure that iconv_open() gets the correct source 
+encoding (iso-8859-1 in this case).
