msgconv: conversion failure

[Denis Barbier]

Hi,

a French translator for Debian processed a bunch of PO files with msgconv
and encountered the following error message:
  msgconv: conversion failure

This problem appears for instance with this file
  
http://ftp-master.debian.org/~barbier/l10n/material/po/unstable/main/d/dpkg/po/dpkg_1.10.10_fr.po.gz
It is caused by a hard-coded buffer size
  #define tmpbufsize 4096
in msgl-iconv.c(iconv_string).
It would be nice if this limit was removed, or at least could be enlarged
via a command-line flag.
