+Subject: [PATCH] utf8n_to_uvchr(): Don't display too many bytes in msg
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+When raising a message about malformed UTF-8, we shouldn't display bytes
+from the next character, unless those bytes were expected to have been
+part of the current one.  Tests for this will be added in future commits
+in ext/XS-APItest/t/utf8_warn_base.pl
