Should be fixed by this change:

2009-02-28  Eli Zaretskii  <eliz <at> gnu.org>

	* coding.c (detect_coding_charset): Fix change from 2008-10-21.
	Also, check iso-latin-*, not only iso-8859-*.

Subject: 23.0.91; Fails to read UTF-8 on Win2k
Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2009 15:10:19 +0100

I'm using the windows port of 23.0.91 on Win2k SP4 and I found that it
fails to read utf-8 encoded files correctly. When visiting a file in
utf-8 encoding all characters above 255 are screwed up and "C-h C RET"
indicates iso-latin1-dos for saving the file. This has not been an
issue in 23.0.90.
