Re: [Vala] Base64 encode/decode

[Evan Nemerson <evan coeus-group com>]

It decodes fine.  The same thing happens when you try to print t instead
of s2.  You forgot to call setlocale:

        GLib.Intl.setlocale (GLib.LocaleCategory.ALL, "");

Or, if you're using 0.28, just GLib.Intl.setlocale(); will work.
