Care to give an example of what you're thinking about, where purely unibyte
strings and buffers are not properly handled?
After all, such cases are probably bugs.

I must have misunderstood because from what I read in this thread I thought
the problem was due to the fact that one part of the code is using unibyte
strings (for group names) and it's apparently messed up somewhere because it
gets mixed with multibyte data.

Sorry I misunderstood and went on with a rant.
