I haven't looked, but I can tell you that the first thing that I would suspect
when moving to 8 bit chars would be regular expression code.  Often, the NDFA
encoding used by regexp packages makes use of the high bit in search text.

Joe makes a good point here; I forgot to check the regexp library code.  It
would also need to be checked to make sure that it had the correct notion of
what a `word-constituent' character was.
