[gaim-migrate @ 11119] I wrote this code with the assumption that iconv would fail if Gaim attempted to convert utf8 to an encoding that could not represent all the characters. This assumption is not true for all version of iconv (NetBSD 2.0, in this case). Pope not Calle of Flaxborough (notcalle) pointed this out and provided a fix.
