Oh!  A definite bug on my part :) thank you very much as I didn't
notice this at all.  So I should encode the output first for UTF-8
mode, then actually send bytes rather than characters.

I unfortunately couldn't yet test with various boehm-gc versions as you
had suggested in an off-list post.  I have some homework to do here.
But since I could reliably get the same gdb backtrace it seems to be
involved.

Thanks again,
