Not 1.08 from Oct 2002. And certainly not 1.10 from Jan 2004. Concerning these "error messages": they are warnings only. And since they are unavoidable in a Unicode environment these warnings are not printed anymore by recent versions of loadkeys/dumpkeys. Try 1.10. I like to fix current bugs, but am not interested in hearing about bugs in old versions that were fixed years ago.
