[Bug libc/5277] New: Some conversions to iso-2022-jp can hang iconv


Some conversions from UTF-8 to ISO-2022-JP can hang iconv in an infinite loop.
This issue seems sensitive to a number of factors, including whether
transliterate mode is used, the exact input string, the system locale (!), and
whether there is sufficient output space. I will attach a sample program which
demonstrates this issue shortly.

I have confirmed this issue on gentoo and debian distributions of libc. I tried
to confirm it with CVS, but the build failed with this error:
checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
configure: error:
*** It seems that you're using an old `crypt' add-on.  crypt is now
*** part of glibc and using the old add-on will not work with this
*** release.  Start again with fresh sources and without the old
*** `crypt' add-on.

Since this is a clean checkout from cvs, I'm not sure what it wants me to do here.
