It's not a correctness issue, just efficiency. The max_needed_to value
is used in gconv_open to size the internal buffer between two steps, and
the min_needed_from value has no real relevance (when
__gconv_transform_ascii_internal returns __GCONV_EMPTY_INPUT, it has
already consumed all of the input buffer anyway). The other two values
are never used.
Andreas.
