I have some ideas. Knowing that it is a recent change helps (though
as in the bold-font bug last week, I can still _look_ in the wrong place).
I did read through my changes last night, saw that I went through 2-3
stages as part of this one:
* modify interaction between +u8 and locale resource to allow the
command-line option to override the resource (requested by Thomas
Wolff).
Though (I don't see it in my changelog), there was the additional complication
of ensuring that simply having UTF-8 locale set in the environment did not
cause the utf8 resource in xterm to be set, e.g.,
setenv LANG=en_US.UTF-8
xterm +u8
should run xterm without the resource set.

The new version gives XTerm(202).
Generally the old binaries run - I happened to notice last night that
I had about 75 copies of xterm in my /usr/local/bin (and the bug that
I was looking at dated back before X11R5 ;-).
