converting to execution character set: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character

[Fabian Greffrath]

Dear matroska developers,

libmatroska is currently failing to build the test suite with 
gcc-4.4.4 with the following error message:

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/fabian/Debian/libmatroska/make/linux'
g++ -c  -g -O2  -Wall -Wno-unknown-pragmas -ansi -fno-gnu-keywords

error: converting to execution character set: Invalid or incomplete

/home/fabian/Debian/libmatroska/make/linux/../../test/mux/test6.cpp:323:

make[1]: *** [test6.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/fabian/Debian/libmatroska/make/linux'

The cause for this error messages are invalid wide characters in 
test/mux/test6.cpp. They should be either converted to valid UTF-8 
(01-execution-character-set.patch) or, in case you want to keep them 
as they are, the compiler should be explicitely told which character 
set they are to be converted from (01-input-charset.patch). Please 
find a patch for either case attached to this message, both are 
sufficient to fix the failing compilation.

Cheers,
Fabian
