Yes, recode 3.6 is severely broken for in-memory conversion (stream
conversion is ok).  I've warned Fran=E7ois Pinard, which told be he was
currently busy. I've found a fix for a part of the problem, but I
don't know the code well enough to fix it completely.

Exact. I can send you the bug report I gave him, with my partial fix
if you wish. I don't know the other maintainer, maybe he has more time
to fix the problem.
