Which problem exactly? Most of the 8.0 complaints I can recall seemed
to come from people who were trying to dump from a SQL_ASCII database
and reload into a UTF8 database --- that is, their problems were
specifically *caused by* our decision to shift to a more restrictive
default. Which is why I'm not eager to make it even more restrictive.
