Description gerdfleischer 2005-03-24 02:59:58 UTC 
When I send winpopup messages from samba to samba they get truncated if they
contain a euro sign right before it. (UTF-8 env.)

    charcnv: removed the allow_badcharcnv and allow_bad_conv options to convert_string*()
    
    we shouldn't accept bad multi-byte strings, it just hides problems

winpopup messages are locked into the DOS code page, which 

Tested on Samba master b5bf1b66d55f40862ece83ef013793fb303acca7 (will be 4.11) and the message is no longer truncated, but is horribly mangled where the Euro was.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page_850 does not contain the Euro, and the message is sent in dos charset.

Other high characters which are in CP850 do get sent.
