patch, for fix the problem.

uim-xim sometimes cause crash, because of misuse of iconv.
Relevant version is uim-1.4.2 and older versions.

1)
A string returned by iconv() is not ASCIIZ.
The end of string is not a charactor '\x0'.

2)
It is required that calling iconv() with inbuf = NULL, inbytesleft = NULL to
finish a session of conversion.
