Btw, can you tell why you needed this logic:

      /* We want to read exactly one character.  Do this by
         restricting size of output buffer. */
      utf8_char_ptr = utf8_char;
      for (i = 1; i <= 4; i++)
        {
          utf8_char_free = i;
          iconv_ret = iconv (iconv_to_utf8, &inptr, &bytes_left,
                             &utf8_char_ptr, &utf8_char_free);
          /* If we managed to write a character: */
          if (utf8_char_ptr > utf8_char) break;
        }

Why cannot you restrict the size of input instead?
