Because I urgently needed umlauts in a program (linguistic processing
of German), I just took the brute force approach and replaced all
declarations of char with unsigned char.  The compiler complains a
lot, probably because the string.h functions expect char (some casts
should fix this), but it does work fine now.

Thanks for pointing me to the problem, and I'm looking forward to a
clean solution ;-)
