"Ah ah ah (evil laugh) you nasty little bug, you thought you could lurk
forever? Diiiiiiiie!"

Ahhhh I feel better :) For the ones interested, the solution was to call
binmode(IOPORTS, ':raw') after opening '/dev/ports'. The ':raw' keyword,
among other things, prevents Perl from using the UTF-8 layer on file I/O
(where available). I did not find this first because I don't have Perl
5.8.0 on my development machine, and this layers thing is new in 5.8.0.
I was told on IRC to have a look at the binmode perldoc page on Perl
5.8.0, which I did, and it led me to the solution.

Ok Jim, thanks a lot for your help again. I'll commit a clean fix to
sensors-detect to CVS today.
