In my personal mail yes. But this list is read by many people and is

I didn't manage to reproduce the bug. And given that the function 
`UCS::ucs_to_utf8' can never return a null pointer, I can't see why your 
workaround works and the original code doesn't, except if the problem is 
a compiler or library bug (because of the change fputs<-->fprintf).

- Did you try to compile ocrad as distributed with more than one gcc 
version?
- What version(s) of gcc did you use?
- Did you try some other changes to the code?
