This should be fixed in CVS, now.

I changed MzScheme to avoid the problem on two levels:

 1. Instead passing the result of nl_langinfo(CODESET) to iconv_open(),
    MzScheme now passes "" for the current locale's encoding.

 2. If there's still no converter available, MzScheme falls back to
    UTF-8 instead of refusing to convert.
