You are correct. I'm running

NetBSD achilles 1.6.2_STABLE NetBSD 1.6.2_STABLE (ACHILLES) #7: Mon Jan  3 11:05:50 EST 2005 cwr@achilles:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/ACHILLES i386

and libiconv-1.9.2nb1 from pkgsrc.

Thank you very much for finding a starting point to look into the
mystery.  My /usr/pkg/lib/charset.alias is this:

# This file contains a table of character encoding aliases,
# suitable for operating system 'netbsdelf'.
# It was automatically generated from config.charset.
# Packages using this file:  gettext
646 ASCII
ISO8859-1 ISO-8859-1
ISO8859-2 ISO-8859-2
ISO8859-4 ISO-8859-4
ISO8859-5 ISO-8859-5
ISO8859-15 ISO-8859-15
eucCN GB2312
eucJP EUC-JP
eucKR EUC-KR
eucTW EUC-TW
BIG5 BIG5
SJIS SHIFT_JIS

Unfortunately, adding your "utf-8 ASCII" suggestion, either
before or after the "646 ASCII" line, or replacing the 646 with
utf-8 does not solve the problem.  I will continue to dig into
this now that I have a starting point, but if anyone knows
anything about libiconv, hints would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris
