 Approved, but the actual icall should be removed from string-icalls.c
 and icall.c too.

+The patch is incorrect: if it has been tested at all it may have
+worked by luck, because the return value from enc.GetString() happened
+to be left in %eax.
+String ctors can't be implemented that way, because they are
+variable-sized objects.
+Michael: you should use the Encoding API directly to work around the
+issue until we fix it: it's going to be faster for your test case anyway.
