So the obvious quick fix is, on OS X only, to set the locale to e.g. "en_US.UTF-8" instead of "" just before the mbstowcs call. Here's a patch that does this. I don't like this much, though. For one thing, I don't have any reason to believe that the particular locale "en_US.UTF-8" will be supported on any given installation of OS X. Anyone have any better suggestions?
