I'll fix that, thanks for mentioning it.
SA is somewhat inconsistent about whether or not it complains about
malformed UTF-8 characters, as illustrated by your only occasionally
getting that error. I get no complaints about that rule here when testing
my sandbox...
Hopefully its the regexp that can be modified and not that it will
consistently error-out on my few RH4/CentOS4 boxes I run ;) RH
maintains the same version for the entire life of the distro for
dependancies so upgrading out of RedHat is most often painful.
Yes, it's a fairly simple modification to the regex that contains the
UTF-8 multibyte character sequence. Perl is just getting confused handling
it properly when the byte sequence is bare (e.g. \xc3\xa9) so making it a
sequence of one-character character sets ([\xc3][\xa9]) fixes that problem
without materially altering the RE.
I had to fix this for _some_ of the UTF-8 sequences here, but others were
being handled properly so I was lazy and didn't change them all. For that
I apologize.
I've committed the fix, it will go out with the next sa-update.
