description:
Add a workaround for a problem that UTF-8 strings can be corrupted
or broken by basic ctype functions in 4.4BSD descendants.  This
will be fixed in their future development branches but they'll keep
the POSIX-incompatibility for their backward-compatiblities in near
future.

+/*******************************************************************
+On 4.4BSD-descendants, ctype functions serves the whole range of
+wchar_t character set rather than single byte code points only.
+This characteristic can break some operations of string object
+including str.upper() and str.split() on UTF-8 locales.  This
+workaround was provided by Tim Robbins of FreeBSD project.  He said
+the incompatibility will be fixed in FreeBSD 6.

 - Implemented bind_textdomain_codeset() in locale module.
 
+- Added a workaround for proper string operations in BSDs.  str.split
+  and str.is* methods can now work correctly with UTF-8 locales.
