There seems to be another bug with UnicodeStrings.
Assume following program:

Eval [
PackageLoader fileInPackage: #I18N.
a := WriteStream on: (Array new).
1 to: 100 do: [:nr| a nextPut: nr].
str := (a contents collect: [:nr| nr printString]) join: ','.
str displayNl.
str2 := str asUnicodeString.
"str2 asString displayNl."   "<- gives a backtrace"
str3 := '', str2.
str3 displayNl.
]

It prints two lines of numbers, here the second line
is truncated right after 88, like this: "...,88,8"

When I uncomment the commented line in the code snippet above I get a
backtrace:

Object: Iconv new "<0x2ac0d49dba00>" error: incomplete input sequence
