OK; so I think with your ...ea608842 change then it should work (not tried
to push it); but with that change hopefully the extra check in ..623bc74f
should never trigger; which is good because if it does then I think you'll
end up outputing part of a wide character which would get messy.

One thing I tried to do in my change was remove the magic '4's that
pop up in a few places because of the wide characters.

(Any particular reason you prefered this over my fix?)
