That is working as intended. If there is no known character set, these
are just raw bytes - as pidl doesn't know using what encoding to interpret them
and convert them to Samba's local character set.

If this is for a field that actually has text in it, what encoding is it in?
If this is for a field that has non-text data, why do you need it to be a "char
*"?
