I totally agree with you about this, but I have a question.
Which problems of MHonArc (not Wilma) will be solved with
this patch?

Maybe Nakatani-san has already noticed this, I guess this
patch has (at least) one problem: the messages written in
iso-2022-jp-2 will be broken, won't they?


P.S.
I have another (trivial) question to Nakatani-san.

What does `political' mean here?
(I hope you'd explain this in Japanese... ;-)
