Hi Akira,

With INDEXDICTIONARY line added to texmf.cnf, without your patch, I get
the following output:

% mendex -E -d mendbug.dic mendbug.idx
This is mendex version 2.6f [14-Aug-2009] (euc) (TeX Live 2016).
Scanning dictionary file ./mendbug.dic....done.
Scanning input file mendbug.idx.
Error: 愛上尾 is no entry in dictionary file in mendbug.idx, line 1....done (0 entries accepted, 1 rejected).
0 entries accepted, 1 rejected.
1 errors, written in mendbug.ilg.
Nothing written in output file.

Is this the expected output?

Should I test with your patch as well?
