Though this isn't wrong, the effect is the other way round:
A conversion from UTF8 to Latin1 may only shorten the text (down to
the half of the utf8 byte length in extreme cases).
So allocating a buffer of the size of the UTF8 text will be sufficiant.
If you convert Latin1 to UTF8 the text might need up to twice the space.
