I found it works on FreeBSD with 4.6 too but: only with (default)
iso-8859-1 encoding. It doesn't work if the page has different
codepage, for example iso-8859-2 or iso8859-15 or koi8-r. So it seems
to be the problem with Netscape translation table for this codepage.
To patch server quickly you can set up different default codepage for
your documents.
