Additional info:

This bug is only in GNU 3.6 tree of recode. When I use recode version 3.5d from
original 
site (http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/recode/HTML/index.html) it is OK.
please note that first character of the converted string is c with caron in
8859-2 coding.
The results are the same for all accented characters but these ones with acute
from 8859-2.
