Thank you for enabling charset encoding, it's great!
However, small bug causes invalid iconv(3) usage and causes mc segfault
inside glibc. It is a result of wrong iconv outbuf parameter: it points
to buffer, but it should really point to pointer to buffer (char **
instead of char*).
The attached patch fixes the problem (at least for me).
