Mingw, haning of apps, databasin

[Riccardo Mottola]

Hi,

when running DataBasin, with operation that used to work on mingw and 
still work on other systems, I notice:

warning: 2011-08-23 12:43:12.286 DataBasin[4124] could not convert to 
UTF8 string! bytes=0x1b8f8e0 len=19

warning: 2011-08-23 12:43:12.286 DataBasin[4124] could not convert to

<cut>.

For the same data, I get no errors on other systems.

These messages are always printed, so they do not determine the crash, 
but they are suspicious in any case.

Further in the flow the application saves data to a file in a specified 
encoding, user-selectable. UTF-8, Latin1 and windows cp 1251 are among 
the choices.

On NetBSD all encodings do work, on windows, ironically right with the 
windows CP-1251 the application hangs, with utf-8 it works! (But no 
additional warnings are printed out).

I run the app in GDB, to check where it hangs, but hitting "ctrl-c" 
kills the whole debugger+process and drops me to the shell.
