    PATCH: [perl #101710] Regression with /i, latin1 chars.
    
    The root cause of this bug is that it was assuming that a string was in
    utf8 when it wasn't, and so was thinking that a byte was a starter byte
    that wasn't, so was skipping ahead based on that starter byte.

RHEL-7 affected (perl-5.14.2-190.el7.x86_64).
