Fixed, thanks.

This is a bug in XEmacs, in the definition of the variable `isearch- 
mode-map'.  In this map, all printing characters should be bound to  
`isearch-printing-char', but the setup does not handle non-ascii  
characters correctly, I believe.  The purpose of this code is to  
exactly handle packages like Org where all normal characters are bound  
to a special function - but the implementation of this function is  
incomplete.  A better implementation could be to find all characters  
that are bound to self-insert-command in the global map and make the  
replacement binding for those.

Please report this as a bug to the XEmacs people, I do not have the  
time to fix this myself.
