This shows up because the debugger goes and does:

    UNIVERSAL::isa("\xff\xff\xff\0", "HASH")

which boils down to calling:

    gv_fetchpv("\xff\xff\xff\0", FALSE)

But gv_fetchpv() and friends now expect a well-formed utf8 string--hence
the warning.

This ought to fix it.

Change 5700 by gsar@auger on 2000/03/13 09:57:59

	make the is_utf8_*() safe for use on invalid utf8 (they now
	return false on such input instead of emitting warnings)
