Follow-up Comment #1, bug #58732 (project pspp):
When I have considered this issue in the past, I've always concluded that
there can be no solution, if we're to keep spss compatibility.
The problem is, that the "width" of a string variable is defined as the number
of bytes (not characters) that the variable contains.
The symptoms are even worse, if a multibyte character happens to overlap the
end of the string - it gets curtailed and transformed into something else :(
