I cannot reproduce this on MS-Windows, with today's trunk.  According
to the command line above, this is without bidi reordering, right?

c=4195671 (#x400557) is a strange value for a character.  And the
character at buffer position 150 is HET, codepoint #x5d7.

Could you please go to frame #7 and display the content of `it'?  To
this end, start GDB from the src directory, or type "source
src/.gdbinit", and then type these commands:

  (gdb) frame 7
  (gdb) pit

Then show what GDB prints in response.

Thanks.
