I see.

As I wrote, it works well.  Further usage doesn't show any problem.
Please release a new version.

BTW, I have an idea to improve luit, which I imagine should be
implemented easily.  It is, addition of a command option to
directly specify encoding.  For example, "luit -en eucCN",
though I don't know this is really a good idea to add it.
(I intend to improve xterm's "locale" resource to use it,
like "xterm*locale: utf-8" or "xterm*locale: eucJP".)

Another improvement is to accept UTF-8 locales.  In such case,
luit will work as "doing-nothing-filter".  This will simplify
the needed work of caller of luit.  (So far, the caller of luit
has to check UTF-8 locale whether to call luit or not.)
