  ah, good point ! Sorry I never use Windows
Another test which was introduced in 2.9.0 named testlimits.c is also
certainly missing from the Windows makefiles and could be interesting
to run at least once on Windows.

 I get those 10 too

  Ah, well ebcdic support seems to be missing from Windows iconv
  versions in general, so that one is a known problem which tends to pop
up in all Windows runs, so if you only got that in runtest, that sounds
pretty good to me !

  Thanks for the report in any case !
Also if you have a chance to send the diff or the modified Windows files
that would be appreciated :-)
