Brian M. Carlson 4550bf19cf utf-8.7: Two clarifications 
This patch clarifies that 0xc0 and 0xc1 are not valid in any UTF-8
encoding[0], and it also references RFC 3629 instead of RFC 2279.

[0] In order to have 0xc0, you'd have to have a two-byte encoding
with all the data bits zero in the first byte (and thus only six
bits of data), which would be an ASCII character encoded in the
non-shortest form.  Similarly with 0xc1.

See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=538641

but only the latter is meaningful to fmemopen().

Michael Kerrisk 005e6bb888 fmemopen.3: BUGS: fmemopen() doesn't correctly set file position in some cases 
If 'mode' is append, but 'size' does not cover a null byte
in 'buf', then fmemopen() incorrectly sets the initial file
position to -1, rather than the next byte after the end of
the buffer.
