Very interesting; thanks for a report.

From the definition of fuzz(), it looks like

	sed "
			s/$_x40/OBJECT_NAME/g
			s/$_x05/OBJID/g
			s/^ \{6\}[CTa].*/      SUBJECT/g
			s/^ \{8\}[^ ].*/        CONTINUATION/g
		" <log >log.fuzzy

failed to completely match the fourth and five lines of the shortlog:

	A U Thor (5):
	      Test
	      This is a very, very long first[etc]
	      Th𝄞s 𝄞s a very, very long f𝄞rst[etc]
	      Th<malformed treble clef>s <malformed treble clef>s a...

Could you confirm this?  What does

	locale
	printf 'Th\360\235\204\236s\n' | sed 's/.*//g'

print?
