I think this problem is critical for rpcclient, but not important.

This problem was found during the test for the Jeremy's mail:

I also
fixed the same errors in the other two functions. Please
check out the 2.2 CVS and see if it fixes the problem.

These two functions are called only from rpcclient, so first we tried
to execute rpcclient and met this bug and the bug already reported in
"[bug] invalid usage display of rpcclient".

And another multibyte bug around dislaying messages was found during
this test and I will report later with a patch.
