I have yet to hear of any \201 bugs in any XEmacs built with MULE, and an
XEmacs built without MULE cannot exhibit these bugs.  Nothing about XEmacs
throwing \201 bugs in gnu.emacs.gnus, nothing about \201 that I can recall
in comp.emacs.xemacs.

| Correct, but there's no evidence yet of an Emacs bug to fix here.

If that were true then there would be no appearance of \201.  The fact that
it did appear is proof that there are bugs in the FSF Emacs implementation
of MULE, and I will continue to offer XEmacs as a solution to those bugs
until such time as they are fixed.  And if your attitude accurately
reflects that of the FSF then you'd better get used to me doing so, because
while free software is important, software that works correctly is more
important.
