Thanks for sending the logs. The XS module is failing to find a locale
with a UTF-8 character type. I'll try adding a check in the Perl code
for an available locale before loading the XS module.

If you posted the output of "% locale" and "% locale -a", it might
help to work out why no UTF-8 locale is being found.

This code is new since then. It's C code that relies on the locale
support in the C standard library to process UTF-8.
