Well, I meant it to go into CVS, if noone objected. I consider your raising
the multibyte issue sufficent objection to have it held off. No point
patching and repatching.

The problem is that I just chop it off at NAMEDATALEN, which might be
in the middle of a multibyte character, correct?

Ah, I see code in parser/scan.l that does the multibyte aware version
of the chop. Should I just rewrite my patch with that code as a model?
