Thanks, this test case explains the problem. I've fixed this upstream
now:
Mon Oct 15 10:13:57 BST 2007 Colin Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* src/manconv.c (check_preprocessor_encoding): Allow only
alphanumerics and "-_/:.()" in encoding names (Debian bug
#446055). This matches everything in 'iconv --list' on my system.
(try_iconv): Include encoding names in error message if iconv_open
fails.
Cheers,
