It's the small change to insert.c in

        ftp://invisible-island.net/temp/vile-9.7j8.patch.gz

I revisited the report where I made that change, was not able to see that
this chunk was needed.

Most of the patch deals with wide-characters in
regular expressions - partly working but incomplete for things like

        /x\{2,3\}

I've been fixing xterm for the past week or so, intending to go back
to this patch and finish it "soon".
