Folk who use the hexdump(1)/od(1) utility (in particular "od -c") to examine files will encounter a problem after applying the lcctype.patch. There's an assert check in hexdump/conv.c:137 that verifies that the character has (width > 0). This assertion is no longer valid once you've listed bunches of characters with SWIDTH0. If you run "od -c" on a file containing utf-8 combining characters, the assert test will fail causing od to dump core. I also have a patch for this and this patch is now documented here: http://opal.com/freebsd/unicode.html#hexdump Enjoy, -jr
