No, I don't think so.  Your patch is far worse for code in a system that
uses C locales, I think.

If I read it correctly it seems your suggested patch, even the corrected
followup, does not make the correct checks when displaying characters if
'-8' is used.

The client program must still ensure only characters that are valid
"printable" characters in the user's current locale are sent to the
user's terminal.
