bbdb kanji being corrupped on save

[Randy Bush <randy@psg.com>]

when i have kanji in a name and then save the .bbdb, i end up with \mush
in the file and lose the kanji.  i tried saving in mule,
iso-this-and-that, etc.  no love.  same problem for extended latin
alphabets.

it is likely my fault, as i seem to have accumulated an amazing amount
of bbdb cruft.
