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 ....
