> It seems to me that fold (5.94) doesn't support multibyte locales. I have
> LANG=hu_HU.UTF-8, no other LC_ variables set, fully UTF-8 environment. When
> I launch "fold -s" to format a UTF-8 encoded text file, it produces lines
> much shorter than 80 characters for those lines that have plenty of accented
> letters. If I omit the "-s" it even easily breaks a character, places a
> newline between its two bytes, which leads to invalid UTF-8 output.
