Hmmm, why does "wc" output _any_ such messages? The standard doesn't
require them and they seem like a waste of time. An invalid byte
should not count as part of a character or a word, but should count as
a byte and as part of a line.
I think I agree, but I was trying to be a little cautious. Unless I
hear an objection in the next day or so, I'll rework the patch on the
lines you suggest.
James.
