Thanks for pointing it out. Your fix seems correct.

BTW I have found another bug with EUC_TW support. line 917 in conv.c:

            *p++ = c1 - LC_CNS11643_3 + 0xa3;

this should be:

            *p++ = *mic++ - LC_CNS11643_3 + 0xa3;

Otherwise, CNS 11643-1992 Plane 3 or more won't work. Could you test
it out with CNS 11643-1992 Plane 3 or more?

If they are ok, I will fix the current source and make a patch for
7.0.3 (I guess it's too late to back-patch the 7.0 tree).
