Control: tags -1 upstream
Also present in upstream 3.1.
It is due to utf8ToLatin1 being passed an already-Latin-1 string
"Zweibrücken" (poi.dat.gz is UTF-8 but apt.dat.gz is Latin-1); this is
not valid UTF-8, and as you note, this function doesn't catch invalid
input, so runs past the end of the string and crashes.
I'll try to fix this later.
