+       * glib/gconvert.c (open_converter, g_convert_with_iconv): Don't
+       call g_set_error() unless the GError pointer is non-NULL. This
+       avoids infinite recursion problems in certain rare situations on
+       Windows, when g_locale_from_utf8() is called from
+       _glib_get_locale_dir() after the change below. It's the
+       _glib_gettext() calls to translate error messages that are
+       parameters to g_set_error() that cause the recursion, not
+       g_set_error() itself.
+
+       * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_locale_filename_from_utf8): New
+       function. Converts a filename to the system codepage, and if a
+       straight conversion isn't possible (because the filename contains
+       characters not in the system codepage), try looking up the
+       filename (which should refer to an existing file for this to
+       succeed) with short (8.3) pathname components.
+
+       * glib/gutils.c (_glib_get_locale_dir): No need to cache the
+       result, this function is normally called only once. Return the
+       path to the locale directory in system codepage, not UTF-8. The
+       path is passed to bindtextdomain(), which doesn't use UTF-8 file
+       names. Use g_win32_locale_filename_from_utf8(). (#301772)
+
+       Don't do run-time lookup of message catalog directory on
+       Cygwin. Cygwin is supposed to look and feel like Unix, and on Unix
+       we use paths fixed at configure time.

        * glib/gutils.h: Minor comment improvement.
