Right, interesting - have upgraded to Perl 5.8.5, and now, having 
removed the \def\testbytesequence{} from cont-new.tex, the error message 
"malformed UTF-8 character" has gone away! Quite possibly the RedHat 9 
install of Perl 5.8.0 had some default of UTF-8 mode set (though I 
couldn't see any evidence of it).

Thanks for this Taco. Still not producing any register output, but at 
least that's half the problem solved.
