... repeated a zillion times.
Trying to be clever in stderr_out (which can be used in the middle of
a crash, redisplay etc) is bad juju.
Let's undo that change, so we can at least seee the real problem
[Will apply this after I get around to actually testing it]

* print.c (fatal):
(stderr_out): Do not do code conversion.
(stdout_out): Do code conversion.
(std_handle_out_va): add recode argument.
