Well, I tried out the test case on a fresh Ubuntu 8.10 machine (libc version
2.8.90) and I was able to reproduce the issue. I then tried out Andreas'
suggestion, but simply changing `UTF-8//` to `UTF8//` did not stop the
Segmentation Fault from occurring. Only by adding both of these lines:
module    ABC//    UTF8//    ABC    1
module    UTF8//    ABC//    ABC    1

does `iconvconfig` not cause a seg. fault (and it does not matter if I use
`UTF8//` or the alias `UTF-8//`).

By the way, I also tried:
module    HPGREEK8//    ABC//    ABC    1

(causes a seg. fault). This is kind of interesting because `HPGREEK8//` is an
alias that is defined in `/usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules` whereas `UTF-8//` is a
built-in alias.
