yes, it's still needed. Here's a patch that works for Solaris.
Don't know about other OS.

as I said in my original post instead of these lines it also works if one
checks nbytes instead, i.e.
--- snip ---
if (nbytes <= 0)
goto OTHER;
--- snip ---
should also work.
Since you asked if this is still needed I'm guessing that the compose key
works for other operating systems, e.g. GNU/Linux. Is that so?
