I tried to fix this in our current pdftex versions in Debian.  We still
don't have pdftex.web.  How would that be fixed in old versions using
tex.web?  I found in tex.ch

@x [32.592] l.11820 - font numbers can be >255 now.
@!c,@!f:quarterword; {character and font in current |char_node|}
@y
 {character and font in current |char_node|}
@!c:quarterword;
@!f:internal_font_number;
@z

But that looks as if it already patches this?  But then why do we
encounter the bug in Debian?
