Comment (by simonmar):
An update: the built-in UTF-8 decoder has a bug, in that when the byte
0x80 is received it will wait for 3 more bytes before emitting an error
(the iconv UTF-8 decoder doesn't have this bug). I've fixed that.
I managed to crash xterm by pasting the bytes 0xE0 0x00 into it :-) And
it wasn't even in UTF-8 mode.
