 I too was pretty sure that this was the patch that broke up gnus at
 least for iso-8859-* encodings. I should redump without it to see if
 it makes any difference. 
If so, although my patch to mule-category.el and/or mule-cmds.el
improves Japanese environment partially, it breaks the latin
environments.  Since it doesn't fix Japanese environment
completely, I don't have regret in throwing it away (probably
other Japanese will agree).  I ask the XEmacs maintainers to
apply the reverse patch which has been archived in:
