  Hi,

  The problem was corrected in version 1.5 of that file, I updated the
CVS xf-4_2-branch version to reflect current CVS.

  The problem wasn't in the original Igarashi's patch. It was introduced
in a latter patch to make it truly international, and the problem fixed
once noticed. Unfortunately the patch was not in the 4.2.0 version.
