Re: locale_to_utf8 multithread

After searching a lot, It seems its the function g_get_charset which
have a problem when it run simultaneous in different threads.
If I run g_get_charset once, pass charset variable to threads and use Glib::convert, it works.

Should be safe.  While GLib does cache and re-use iconv_t descriptors,
it is supposed to be thread-safe.  Are you sure it is really
Glib::locale_to_utf8() causing the access violation?  Can you reproduce
the problem using the GLib C API?
