No, because you had already told me that :-)

I know it returns 0. Your hypothesis is that it returns 0 because it was 
called before QCoreApplication was initialised, which you've been able to 
prove to be the case. But I looked at the code and, at first glance, there was 
nothing to indicate why that would be the behaviour.

What I want to know is why that behaviour is so. Where, in the code inside Qt, 
does it make a decision that gets it a null, instead of the proper codec?
