I just do not why vim can view those code without segment fault
but mutt quit with segfault, though vim does not display it correctly.

I do not only use mutt :).  I am now trying to move to UTF-8 by
using a new account on my debian, and I do encounter problems.
They will take me times to fix them. Thank you.

It is also a surprise to me. It is sure that if I restart X with
local en_US, these chinese words are in chaos. This case only
occurs when I use the command "env LANG=en_US mutt" in a GBK
locale.
