Every 20th out of 20000 input lines was broken.

I did a simple conversion u8..l1 and reverted it via
l1..u8. The characters included German locations with
Umlaute such as äöüßÄÖÜ.

I did the test again on the diff of the first run.
Again, it was about one of 20 lines which caused
problems. Thus I guess it's not a problem of the
character tables, but of the memory allocation.

Sample data can be used e.g. from

Maybe that's the (unfixed) problem?
