SunOS 4.1.1
Epoch 4.2
no EIGHTBIT_KEYBOARD defined

Consider the following Elisp code:

(setq *m* (make-keymap)) -> <keymap array>
(length *m*) -> 256 (not 128 as in 4.0.2 or 18.58)
(define-key *m* (char-to-string 127) 'self-insert-command) -> self-insert-command
(define-key *m* (char-to-string 128) 'self-insert-command) -> error
"Key sequence \200 uses invalid prefix characters"

Is this correct behavior?
Am I missing something here or is this a bug?

Thanks.
