My current-language-environment is "UTF-8" and every time I do M-x man to
get a new manpage, I get the error
Man-softhyphen-to-minus: Args out of range: "UTF-8", 0, 6
Here's a patch (although this is sent with gmail - don't ask - and it might
be mangled beyond recognition):
diff --git a/lisp/man.el b/lisp/man.el

First fallout from "Do not allow out-of-range character position in
Fcompare_strings".

Dmitry, please could you fix this? You'll also need to keep an eye out
for future reports with these symptoms. (Are you sure this change is
worth the pain it will cause?)
BTW, this is another change that needs an "incompatible change" NEWS entry.
