In the common case, the failure is not that iconv is broken, but rather
that the string contains a character that cannot be encoded in the
specified encoding. 'scm_encoding_error' raises an exception, which
could be caught and handled by user code. If uncaught, it would print
an error message that contains only ASCII characters, so should not
fail.
What I suggested was not a workaround, but rather a temporary hack to
debug your problem.
Thanks,
Mark
