I still don't understand what this conditonal is for:
1197 if (!sub)
1198 while (isu8cont((unsigned char)es->cbuf[--ncursor]))
1199 continue;
I realized that what I did in my diff works with any false condition,
and it also works just changing the "continue;" above with a "break;".
I fact removing the conditional and just resting one to ncursor also
makes the job:
