That's it!

The charset.def contained two characters, whose codes are 0 and 12. This
happens when the shell command
% echo > somefile
is run on cygwin.

Removing the file and recompiling fixed the problem.

So I guess the Makefile in src/ should be patched to test for an empty
DEFAULT_CHARSET. In this case, the charset.def file should not be generated.

Thanks a LOT!
