Bug#568078: Multiple apps fail to start after using /usr/lib/gconv/ISO8859-1.so
Package: libc6
Version: 2.10.2-5
I use latest sid, kernel 2.6.32-trunk-amd64 #1 SMP Sun Jan 10 22:40:40
UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Multiple apps fail to start with the same error message:
$ xchat
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::length_error'
what(): basic_string::assign
Aborted
$ midori
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::length_error'
what(): basic_string::assign
Aborted
$ epiphany
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::length_error'
what(): basic_string::assign
Aborted
Strace shows that all apps use /usr/lib/gconv/ISO8859-1.so before
reporting the error:

I've tried to rename that ISO8859-1.so. It helps, apps start successfully.
