Actually two bugs, depending on your point of view.  The appended patch
clears up a long-standing problem for CJK users.  Of course, it masks
the other problem, which I suppose is potentially more serious.

* Let CJK charsets default to 7 Bit Approximations.  Needed to display
  entities in the decimal 160-255 range.  (Restore behavior before the
  changes made to declarations of charsets on 1999-03-04.)
