I'm going to try to find the source package for this, and see what
is causing that problem.

Well, this sounds good, with two caveats.
1) don't call it iconv_reset, that makes it look like an iconv function.
call it UT_iconv_reset or some such.
2) This doesn't actually fix the problem, it just limits the problem
to people with buggy glibc's and CJK documents. Which is an improvement,
but not a solution.
But I would still accept a patch for this.
