	No, I didn't mean that it is looping in g_utf8_next_char() --
that simply expands to pointer arithmetic.  I just noticed that it skips
a '\0' character, which I thought weird.  I've chatted with Owen about
it, and it is the defined behavior.  In the end, it doesn't affect the
bounds of this problem.  The code is looping in the do{}while() loop
there because got_bytes > 0 but encoded_read_buf->str[0] == '\0' (which
should not happen at all).
