    ISO C provides no mean to find out how many bytes the wide
    character representation really uses.  But it defines MB_CUR_LEN to
    return the information for the multi-byte character representation.
    Many programmers don't know the difference between the two and

+   think this means the same.  But assuming all characters have a size
    of MB_CUR_LEN after they have been processed by `mbrtowc' is wrong.
-   Instead the maximal number of character used for the conversion is
-   MB_CURLEN.
+   Instead the maximum number of characters used for the conversion is
+   MB_CUR_LEN.
 
    It is known that some Motif applications have this problem.  To
    cure this one has to make sure the glibc uses the function in this
    file instead of the one in locale/mb_cur_max.c.  This can either be
    done by linking with this file or by using the LD_PRELOAD feature
    of the dynamic linker.  */
