You should be careful with the case where the user has a non-UTF8
environment, and entered a non-ascii sequence. I can see two cases:

1) The non-ascii sequence is valid UTF-8, then I guess your patch would
   show two characters instead of one. Not really correct, but not really
   serious either.

2) The non-ascii sequence is NOT valid UTF-8, then if I read correctly
   (I didn't test) utf8_width would set next to NULL, and then you are
   in big trouble.
