Kind of OT, but it broke in revision 1.4:
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/lib/libc/gen/ctype_.c

0xa0 in a non-breaking space in ISO 8859-1, so that kind of makes
sense, don't know about the rest though. Anyhow, it's bad since it
doesn't agree with the docs and the behaviour is unexpected.
