Same NetSurf but Raspberry Pi, OS5.21 (03-Jun-14).

Just to be clear, does it still work if the o-umlaut is directly typed into
either the top URL bar or the menu's "Open URL" icon. Alt-246 that is.
NetSurf says it runs out of memory.

Once finger trouble here is excluded the bug tracker needs updating as
requested. I don't mind doing that.

Off topic I note that StrongED 4.69f6 needs a tweek to get it to accept
accented characters in a URL. Having sorted that the URL is resolved.
