Right.  Encode-2.07 indeed had the problem, resulting bleedperl to fail 
on ext/PerlIO/t/encoding.t, test 14.  Encode-2.08 corrected the problem 
by checking if the caller is PerlIO and if so, sets 
Encode::RETURN_ON_ERR so it breaks out of the loop on partial character 
case.

I believe I have checked & tested enough but I would appreaciate if you 
guys take a look, especially Encode.xs and t/fallback.t.
