The example you showed didn't demonstrate a failure to read UTF8 ... it 
showed NSLog() failing to output
UTF8.  The NSLog code was attempting to log the message it was given as 
ascii.  I have modified it to log
UTF8 if it can't convert the message to ascii.

However ... I'm not sure what the correct behavior is.  Should NSLog() 
be trying to log messages as 8-bit
data using the default string encoding?

Perhaps it should go like this -

Can the message be converted to ascii?
  If so, log ascii data
Can the message be converted to the default cString encoding?
  If so, log 8-bit data in the default encoding
otherwise, log UTF8

Anyone know?
