In version 2.11, the line 771 decides whether or not a string is ascii
encoded or not. As it seems this is not working reliably, for only UTF16LE
strings are "decoded" to the requested defaultEncoding.
My workaround/hack for now is to replace line 771 with this:
$retstr = ($asciiEncoding) ? iconv('cp1250', $this->_defaultEncoding,
$retstr) : $this->_encodeUTF16($retstr);
I'm not fully convinced using an hardcoded encoding of cp1250 is a good
idea but it seems to work in my testcase.
