Of course, title is: iconv_substr() gives "Unknown error" when string length = 1" 

Operating system: Windows XP.

It is not my error - bugs.php.net has bugs!

the patch removes a strange 'switch (errno)' that I don't really know why it was there and adds a check for _php_iconv_appendl()

The switch clause is needed so that illegal multibyte occurrences would be detected per specification. I'm going to look into this one.
