I'm running 5.8.0 too (on Redhat).
I'd definately try to get away from 5.8.0 as soon as possible. There were quite a lot of (sometimes rather serious) bugs in 5.8.0, esp. in the multibyte handling, but also in other areas !
Right, interesting - have upgraded to Perl 5.8.5, and now, having removed the \def\testbytesequence{} from cont-new.tex, the error message "malformed UTF-8 character" has gone away! Quite possibly the RedHat 9 install of Perl 5.8.0 had some default of UTF-8 mode set (though I couldn't see any evidence of it). Thanks for this Taco. Still not producing any register output, but at least that's half the problem solved. Duncan
