[bug-gnu-libiconv] [rt.cpan.org #28850] Korean hanging CRITICAL

I've found the problem, and it's in Text::Iconv.

The problem is that the output buffer is too small.  It seems that I've
set it to a very small size (5 bytes) for testing the reallocation and
inadvertently left that in the released version.

I don't know why it only seems to occur on Solaris, but in any case this
is a bug and I'll make a new release later today.

You may want to try whether changing the line

  outbytesleft = 5; /* 2 * inbytesleft; */

in Iconv.xs to

  outbytesleft = 2 * inbytesleft;

fixes the problem for you.
