On a system using the glibc embedded libiconv I do not reccomend independantly updating libiconv (even though it's possible since glibc supports pluggable libiconvs). There are just too many pitfals and subtle problems you can run into by doing this. To debug a suspected hang related to iconv and the Validator, you can try to modify the code to print debugging messages around the relevant system calls. All iconv useage is confined to a single subroutine and a good first step to determining if this is the problem would be to add a warn() call at enter and exit for this subroutine (search for Iconv to find the right sub). - -- >For all I know they probably have a standard for >which direction to put the thread on a bolt.
