doTranscodeFromLocalCodePage() doesn't work for non-null-terminated strings

           Summary: doTranscodeFromLocalCodePage() doesn't work for non-
                    null-terminated strings
           Product: XalanC
           Version: 1.3.x
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: XalanC
        AssignedTo: xalan-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: levinson@ice.ru


doTranscodeFromLocalCodePage() makes the following call:

	const size_t    theTargetLength = ::mbstowcs(
		0,
		theSourceString,
		size_t(theSourceStringLength));

regardless of the theSourceStringIsNullTerminated value. Since first parameter 
is 0, mbstowcs() ignores count, and attempts to process garbage beyond the end 
of the string (causing it return -1 occasionally).
