--- Comment #3 from Kalle Richter <krichter722 at aol dot de> ---
This behavior persists in iconv (Ubuntu EGLIBC 2.17-0ubuntu5) 2.17 if you
choose input file and output file to be the same (maybe only on an x86_64). Did
you one try to reproduce the error with a set of identical input and output
files? If I process the files in the following python script (using temporary
files) everything works fine:
<code>
#!/usr/bin/python
import os
import tempfile
import shutil
# The intention of this script is to avoid error "bus error" when processing
file iconv with identical input and output file
for (dirpath, dirnames, filenames) in
os.walk("/home/richter/sources/Aristoteles", topdown=True, onerror=None,
followlinks=False):
#print(dirpath, dirnames, filenames)
for filename in filenames:
_file = os.path.join(dirpath, filename)
#print(_file)
file_ext_pair = _file.split(".")
if len(file_ext_pair) > 1 and file_ext_pair[len(file_ext_pair)-1] ==
"java":
_tempfile = tempfile.mkstemp()[1]
os.system("iconv -f ISO-8859-15 -t utf-8 \""+_file+"\" -o
\""+_tempfile+"\"")
os.remove(_file)
shutil.move(_tempfile, _file)
</code>

The idea behind is to add a warning if input and output file are identical that
the execution is discouraged.

None of the standard utilities work, or can be expected to work, when the input
and output files are the same. As far as I know this is well documented in
POSIX. If it's not documented in the manual for the GNU iconv utility, this
should probably be reclassified as a manual bug, or a new bug filed against the
manual.

One of a the information that input and output have to be different or a link
to the general POSIX information should be added.
(As I have to choose one of duplicate, fixed, invalid, wontfix and worksforme
and moved, which all don't match with reopened, I choose duplicate without any
purpose)

This asks for new functionality, easiest way to resolve this is write a patch
yourself.
Relevant part is iconv/iconv_prog.c around line 300. One solution would be
that if input is same as output first load entire input file to memory and
proceed like in mmap case.

There's another open bug, #6050, which is to be fixed by removing the useless
and harmful attempt to read the whole input file into memory, so I don't think
adding more cases to do this would be a good idea. Using the same file for
input and output is just ALWAYS wrong for all the standard utilities; iconv is
no exception.

There are exceptions, sort being one of them.
