Thanks!  Indeed these problem seem fixed now, it's much better.  I did not 
see any regressions, if I see anything I'll tell you.  One case that still 
isn't quite right apparently is the arabic-small.txt.json file.  If I open 
that file with emacs -Q and type C-f, or C-n, or C-p, point moves to EOB 
(but strangly, not in 100% cases), and there C-a, or M-<, or C-p, or C-n 
do not seem to work anymore.

Frankly, would programming be as fun as it is if assumptions were true? 😉
