[screen-devel] a bug in encoding.c in Screen 4.0.2

[Hiroaki Sengoku]

Hi,

First of all, let me express my appreciation of the great software GNU
Screen.  I can't do any work without it.

I've found a bug in the Screen 4.0.2 (latest ?): Run screen in SJIS
mode, and use eucJP in the window, then a extra 0x8E will be inserted
before every character.

I described the detail of the bug in my blog:

Unfortunately it was written in Japanese, and I'm sorry for your
inconvenience.  I hope some of developers of Screen can read Japanese.

The patch to fix the bug follows:

          return c | (KANA << 16);
        }
       t = c;

If it was a known bug, and already fixed, please ignore this mail.
I shall be very happy if this mail is a little help.
