occasional Chinese characters in Big5-encoding, produces errors with LaTeX. Everything worked fine for years up to OpenSuse 10.2. but with 10.3. and the switch from teTeX to TeXlive something seems to have changed.
[...]
\begin{CJK}{Bg5}{kai} % also tried akai, bkai, kair to no avail
[...] You need to use \begin{CJK}{Bg5}{akab} here.

I’m very sorry about that, the names I used in the \begin{CJK*}
