  The values are swapped.  Installed as obvious.

What's the impact?  Is it possible to write a test that shows a difference?

(I just want to make sure this is not user-visible and thus does not
need to be tracked in Bugzilla.)

Thanks,
Florian

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.

Thank you for your detailed explanation.  It answers my question.
