It is not a multibyte character; it is an 8-bit ISO-8859-1 (I think)
character.

That is a bug in FSF Emacs.

Groß names and 20.4

[Jack Vinson]

I don't know if the subject looks correct, but in 20.4 (on an NT box no
less), I get the correct translation of Kai's last name with the German SS
character.  In 20.3 the character just translated to an underscore.

May I say, "Woo hoo!" 

Hrmm.  Unfortunately, Ispell really doesn't like that special character.
