After sending a bunch of emails to IEEE explaining the problem in detail, they finally changed the database
entries today.

The bad news is that they are now _both_ displayed incorrectly on the web page (if the browser decides to
display the page as unicode).

The good new is that they are both displayed _correctly_ in wireshark, since make-manuf decodes the database as 
iso-8859-1.

Could someone please run make-manuf to update manuf and check it in?

It will be automatically run on Sunday...
On the other hand after all this hard work it'd be nice to fix

g_strlcpy doesn't work with UTF8 and these 
'Pango-WARNING **: Invalid UTF-8 string passed to pango...'
are a pain.

So this does require g_utf8_strncpy() (and g_utf8_validate() before
that) i.s.o g_strlcpy() ?

Thanks,
Jaap
