My guess is that it's the language list, but it could be anywhere
because of how screwed up Mule has historically been about handling
environments.

I would start by pruning the list of character sets loaded by default.
chinese-sisheng is presumably of mostly historical interest now.  Only
linguists and Chinese educators could possibly be interested in it,
and they presumably would prefer to use Unicode or a Chinese character
set that includes hanzi.  IPA is another that should go, if it has a
non-Unicode encoding.  The CNS coding systems are basically unused.
Really the only languages that should have multiple non-Unicode coding
systems loaded by default are Japanese ("hello, foot, meet my friend
bullet") and Russian (KOI8 is a Cold War relic, I guess, but unlike
ISO 2022 and EUC the ISO standard is basically not accepted in
Cyrillic countries).

    Ben> stephen, any insights?  you're the latin-unity guy.

I didn't know anything about chinese-sisheng; latin-unity has nothing
to do with that.  ... Hm, still doesn't, that's not a latin alphabet,
it's a phonetic alphabet for Chinese that happens to include some
latin characters.
