I now tried

string
convert_using_iconv(string input, string from, string to) {
  char* in_buf = as_charp(input);
  char* from_cp = as_charp(from);
  char* to_cp = as_charp(to);
  size_t inbytesleft = (size_t) N(input);
  string result;

  iconv_t cd = iconv_open(to_cp,from_cp);
  if(cd==(iconv_t)-1) return "";
  
  while (inbytesleft > 0) {
    size_t out_buf_len = max(inbytesleft,10);
    size_t outbytesleft = out_buf_len;
    char* out_buf = new char[out_buf_len];
    char* start_out_buf = out_buf;
    size_t flag = iconv (cd, &in_buf, &inbytesleft, &out_buf, &outbytesleft);
    if(flag==(size_t)-1 && errno != E2BIG) { system_error("String conversion 
using iconv failed!"); return "";}
    result << string(start_out_buf, out_buf_len - outbytesleft);
    //delete[] out_buf;
  }
  iconv_close(cd);
  delete[] in_buf; delete[] from_cp; delete[] to_cp;
  return result;
}

which worked, but as soon as I remove the comment befor delete[]
out_buf, I got a segfault again. Obviously this is because I allocated
out_buf manually. But what did I do wrong?
