This patch appears highly dubious to me (apart from the fact that I'd
call non-unicode unsupported).

m_conversion->MB2WC((wchar_t*)(wxChar*)wxStringBuffer(str, buf_len),
(const char*)buffer, (size_t)(nLen+1));
wxStringBuffers expects the second parameter to contain the number of
characters (not bytes), which will be the same for unicode as and
non-unicode. Using sizeof(wchar_t) in non-unicode is just an arbitrary
number with no special meaning, might be the magic constant 42 as well.
The only mechanism of "fix" I could think of is that wxStringBuffer
really should receive nLen+1 instead of nLen.
Max, apparently you have a test case, please check nLen+1 instead of
buf_len.
