Which *application* are you seeing this behavior in?  Has it been 
recompiled against the new libintl2 or not (I thought that there would 
be no upgrading issues, but....just covering all the bases, here).

Try recompiling your app with the new gettext/libiconv packages 
installed (and don't forget to install the -devel packages).

I'm stumped.  The new versions of libiconv/gettext pass just as many of 
the internal self-tests as the old versions did...my testing showed the 
new versions to be no worse than the old.  But then, I never ever use an 
alternate character set; high-school spanish was a long time ago.  I've 
often said that perhaps I'm not the best person to maintain these two 
packages...
