Well, if I replace toAsciiString with another implementation it works fine.
Like this :

public static final String toAsciiString(byte[] buffer, int startPos, 
int length)
{
       byte[] stringBytes = new byte[length];
       int endIndex = startPos + length;
       int pos = 0;
       for (int i = startPos; i < endIndex; i++)
       {
         stringBytes[pos++] = buffer[i];
       }
       return new String(stringBytes);                          
}

But I guess you could be right on the locale thing, since I use both 
english and danish settings.
Investigating now ....
