If it is a bug in the iconv library (which Mutt uses), and  mutt is
freezing up in the iconv code rather than its own, that is
unfortunately technically impossible.

If Mutt were calling iconv as an external program, it would be
technically possible, but it would be a really ugly hack that would
not be worth doing.
