Re: inconsistency with counting characters vs bytes for multi-byte characters

[J Naman]

FYI: I do not know if the fix covers two or three other cases:
with LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
1. split(strUTF8,arr,"") # appears to have same problem as gsub() report
2. As does the example in 4.5.3 Making Each Character a Separate Field by
simply assigning the null string ("") to FS.
3. I did not test gensub().
