That's true, and also easy to fix. I think I over simplified that one.
It should be the only case, though, note that SLutf8_skip_char*s* is
only being called from forward_columns; the rest of the calls to
SLutf8_skip_char are integrated in the loops so that single-byte
characters remain handled exactly as before.

I'll get back to you with a patch on top of most 4.10.2-2 soon, probably
tonight.

If you can find more pathologic cases, please send me a case to test.
