[mkgmap-dev] Possible problem with global search index since r3875

Hi all,

I've just noticed that I may have introduced a problem with r3875.
Road names containing special characters 0x1e and 0x1f are treated different now. I am not
sure where those characters appear in names. I think they are used to store so called double byte
characters within a single byte character string, at least that's what I remember from working 
time with customers from Japan.
In the mkgmap code it is called a prefix, so maybe something completely different.
I did not yet find an input file where this occurs. Can anybody point me to one?
