I've linked this bug to the bugs that I think upstream tracked. If this is the one, then it was corrected in glibc with the ChangeLog entry:
[BZ #2569] * iconv/gconv_db.c (__gconv_release_step): Fix condition of assert call. * iconvdata/Makefile (tests): Add tst-iconv6. * iconvdata/tst-iconv6.c: New file. When reporting bugs, please always include the error message, even if you're providing a fix. If you're getting the patch from upstream CVS, please be clear that you've done so. Thanks for isolating this, though. I appreciate it!
