I use LyX under cygwin/XFree86. It's at the moment not recompiled under the
actual gettext/libiconv. I'll wait until the developers of cygwin/xfree86
release a version compiled with the actual cygwin.

When I reinstall the old libintl2 0.11.5.1 (also withe the actual cygwin and
gettext) all works fine.

I use at the moment the new gettext, libintl, libintl1 and libgettextpo0
versions and the old libintl2 version and all works fine.

I'm stumped too, because I thaught testing means to test it with all
character sets. If you use an internationalized application like LyX, you
can adjust the language so that you can see the menues and button names in
slovakian, spanish etc.
