The code was inconsistent; some places handled unprintable characters as
width 0, others as 1, some didn't handle them specially. I'll
rationalise them all to 0. CVS is still down at the moment (see notice

Hello folks,
Update on the current CVS outage that is affecting projects whose UNIX
names start with the letters a, e, h, i, m, o, r, s, w, z.
The work being done on this server may take up to two days to
resolve. We’re working to resolve this with alacrity and assure maximum
stability and performance.
Please bear with us as we work to get this effort completed.
Best regards,
Daniel Hinojosa – Sr. Manager Support, SourceForge.net
