Subject: bug#2497: 23.0.91; Fails to read UTF-8 on Win2k

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.
