This suggests either a problem with detecting which charset your tty
uses, or an iconv problem converting from that charset to UTF-8.  If you
run 'src/idn --debug --quiet foo' what does it print?  It should print
some charset encoding.  Your iconv library needs to be able to convert
from that charset encoding to UTF-8.

Hope this helps,
