This looks fine (and I might just apply it anyway), but I've still got
issues from your previous patch.  See build.samba.org if you can't
reproduce it locally, but whenever I run command line tools that
charset_initialise(), I get errors about being unable to convert between
various charsets - the new UTF-8 being mentaioned in all the cases.

Can you have a look at it for me?
