Initial Comment:

I'm able to reproduce the bug with 2.5a0 SVN (r43289).   
   
Please try with --enable-unicode=ucs4 
 
The patch is against svn too..

With the stock 2.4.2 on my linux box I was able to reproduce
this.  I couldn't reproduce with 2.4.3c1.  Can you verify
this is fixed in 2.4.3?

Sagol.
