wc v. 4.5.3

[Jeff Martens]

Hello,

wc version 4.5.3 is produces the following error message:

wc: /mnt/floppy/teaching.pdf:2447: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide 
character

wc is supposed to count lines, words, and bytes, and so should not
even be aware that it's reading multibyte characters.  Thus, this
error message indicates an error condition within wc, and not an
issue with the input data.  I've gone to a more useful version of
wc, but it'd be nice to have correct behavior in the standard
distribution.
