No, the BIGCHARSET support was added to the CVS only recently; this
bug is not in 2.1. In case it got merged to the 2.2a1 branch, it might
be worthwhile applying the patch to that branch as well - provided /F
approves the patch. Or, we could live with the bug until 2.2a2, since
it only triggers if Unicode character classes are used on a big-endian
machine.
