Like with "-e S", I get binary data:

zira% echo $LC_CTYPE
C.UTF-8
zira% printf "\300\300\300\300" | ./strings | hd
00000000  c0 c0 c0 c0 0a                                    |.....|
00000005
zira% printf "\300\300\300\300" | ./strings | iconv
iconv: illegal input sequence at position 0

On this example, the output of "strings" should be empty.
