I'm confused.  I have this patch applied to 3.0.5:

 PWS's patch from zsh-workers 4172 to eliminate the `lastc' global
 and thereby clean up some goofy history management and a couple of
 unexpected exits.

That means that my 3.0.5-extended has `char lastc;' in ingetc() as well.
Yet 3.0.5-extended still manages to get the 8-bit characters right, even
though 3.1.5 built on the same machine gets it wrong.

What *else* changed in 3.1.5 to make it sensitive to this?
