:Matt, the ctype macros ALWAYS worked like this, at the very least back to
:the days of 4.4BSD. THIS IS NOT NEW. Just because some programmers don't like
:reading the documentation and follow what is clearly written there, doesn't mean
:that arbitrary changes are correct.

:Joerg

    No, they never worked like this.  Go back and look at rev 1.1 of
    ctype.h in the FreeBSD source repository.  Guess what it does?  It
    does a range check.
