Yes. It sounds like they first implemented Tiburon support, and then started
to port it. Now the iconv interface doesn't seem to match the windows
behaviour.

(they rely on an early knowledge on how big the converted string is going to
be to allocate it)

I have, but not the Tiburon branch. Lazarus designer packages are not in the
Tiburon branch either.

IMHO none, though you can use Synapse for selected issues. (the number of
protocols is slowly growing there).

But I'd rather spend time on fixing Indy. Problem is that it is not a
priority for me now.

Indy10 is way less buggy then indy9. Unfortunately it is simply less known,
tested and documented.
