Thank you for the report and patch.

I cannot reproduce any such failure using the latest mkid built
from git against the sources of gettext from git.  So, please tell
us which version of mkid you're using (mkid --version) and if it's
not 4.5, please get that latest release, retry, and report what
happens.
