Oh I remember very well, and I also remember we had to work a lot to go
from there where we are now, and also that we still need to work on
that.
I am not saying you don't know what charset are or how to do the
translation or anything like that. Just that you are applying the same
patch in the wrong place, and that's because, IMO, you are
under-evaluating the consequences of translating nss entries.
The easy fix is not always the right one.

Simo.
