less bug - international characters not standing out

#633

In less, sequences like `character-backspace-character' should be
displayed standing out, whenever both characters are the same.
However, if `character' has a value greater than 127, the character is
not standing out on the display, even if all its surrounding is.
After recompiling less with -funsigned-char, everything goes fine.
So, this bug is related to some unexpected character sign extension.

For reference, this is less-177.tar.Z, as fetched on prep.ai.mit.edu
on 91-04-19, and installed on a 386/ix 2.0.2 system, using GNU C 1.40
under coff-encapsulation.
