Hi Takashi,

I tested 1.4.16-5 and found another problem in putclip.
If non-ASCII chars are passed to putclip, clip board
has garbage at the end.
Run 'echo αβγ | putclip', then paste clip board to
notepad. 'αβγ' is pasted with a few bytes of garbage.
It seems that the longer non-ASCII string generages longer
garbage.
Running 'echo αβγαβγαβγαβγαβγαβγ | putclip'
and pasting clip board here, results something like:
αβγαβγαβγαβγαβγαβγ
z⊨z⊨z⊨z⊨z⊨zἰz⊨z᪨zἰ
Sometimes, error message:
"Couldn't write CF_TEXT format to the clipboard."
is shown.
My locale is "ja_JP.UTF-8".
Could you please have a look?
Thanks for the report and especially the testcase. I can reproduce this.
Something like 'cat foo | putclip' where the file foo contains Unicode does work.
It's the use of 'echo' with Unicode chars that fails. I'll add that testcase to
my procedures and respin -5 with the fix when ready.
