I do not think it is a bug?  In B20.1 it was __ctype
and in recent snapshots, (snapshot starting from mid february 99)
it became __ctype__
I do not know what was the reasoning behind chaning __ctype to __ctype__.

Anyway, I had most of the necessary libs recompiled for snapshots
to avoid __ctype__ issue.
