Looks like the string is not empty at all. The length of the string is correct, 188, but when I look at the chars, they alternate between 0 and the chars ASCII code:
NSString* returnObject = [[[replyDescriptor descriptorAtIndex:1]
descriptorAtIndex:1] stringValue];
(gdb) p (char)[returnObject characterAtIndex:0]
$1 = 0 '\000'
Current language:  auto; currently objective-c
(gdb) p (char)[returnObject characterAtIndex:1]
$2 = 68 'D'

Sounds a bit suspect - where's the descriptor coming from? Could be that the source is packing UTF16 data into a descriptor with type typeChar/typeUTF8Text instead of typeUnicodeText/ typeUTF16ExternalRepresentation.


Certainly looks like it.
