Yes, of course. I entered a test entry into my phone, which reads
"Test entry [äöü]", i.e. between '[' and ']' there are three German
Umlaute.

Now I'm reading this entry with gnokii. Since I use the patched version
(*dest modified), the final result is correct, but you can still see how
wctomb() fails. In the unpatched version it would have returned '?'
instead.

Thanks for all your help!
