I looked once at EBCDIC, and IIRC my conclusion was that uses of
EBCDIC are potential bugs.  I left the few remaining places, because:

- they seemed to do no charm
- it is not clear what the code was intended to do
- it is not clear when that code should run

At first glance it looks issue 132: normal output beeing treated as
formatting sequence.  I am affraid that proper fix requires significant
work on output routines.
