[Savannah-hackers] Re: lshd crashed on subversions.gnu.org

[Joel N. Weber II]

So I'm going to guess that this means that if you tell lshd that you
are feeding it UTF-8 data such that it calls the UTF-8 routines, and
feed it something that isn't actually valid UTF-8, that that causes
this failure.  Not that I've done any significant investigation, so I
may be completely on crack.

(I assume that you know more about UTF-8 than I do; I used to work as
a sysadmin at a software internationalization consulting company, so I
got some exposure to the whole internationalization mess, but I only
speak English, which dramatically limits my ability to understand
this.)
