Wow.  Just wow.  You found a long-standing bug in the wctomb conversion
from UTF-16 to UTF-8.

As you probably know, Unicode values beyond the base plane (that is,
everything > 0xffff in UTF-32 and > ef bf bf in UTF-8 notation)
are represented as so-called surrogate pairs in UTF-16, two UTF-16
values in the 0xd800 - 0xdfff range.

While the conversion from UTF-8 f4 8f Bf Bf to UTF-16 dbff dfff
worked fine, the conversion back to UTF-8 has a subtil bug.  There's
a test for a lone high surrogate pair in the underlying conversion
function.  This tests the next UTF-16 value like this:

  if (wchar < 0xdc00 || wchar >=3D 0xdfff)
    /* Handle lone high surrogate */

Notice the >=3D 0xdfff?  That should have been > 0xdfff.  Duh.  This
bug is only a bit over 5 years old...

Fixed in the git repo.  I'l regenerate the today's fool..., erm, the
today's developer snapshot on https://cygwin.com/snapshots/ later today.


Thanks, especially for the simple testcase,
Corinna
