[Glass] UTF8 character encoding translation between Pharo and Gemstone

[Paul DeBruicker]

Yeah this 'bug' was a case of me not understanding what I should've been doing.  

For my purposes the correct implementation of DoubleByteString>>#decodeFromUTF8 is

decodeFromUTF8
     ^self


After that change things worked fine. Thanks for the reminder to circle back to the list with the answer
