I think I agree with you. As far as the kernel is concerned, "isspace()" should just accept the obvious spaces (hardspace, tab, newline), and *perhaps* the VT/FF kind of things. You should realize that the kernel <ctype.h> thing is *ancient*. It's basically there from v0.01, and while the really original one (I just checked) had all the non-ascii characters not trigger anything, it was converted to be latin1 in the 2.1.x timeframe. That's a *loong* time ago. Way before UTF-8 and other things were really common. So we should probably just make all the upper 128 bytes go back to "don't trigger anything in ctype.h" - they'd not be spaces, but they'd not be control characters or anything else either.
