I might be missing something, but according to my tests back in June, the bug
exists in both ucol_strcollUTF8()/ucol_strcoll() and is still affecting the very
last version of ICU (67.1).

That's why my patch replaces both functions altogether using ucol_strcollIter
as replacement.

This bug is related to ICU4J, not ICU4C. AS far as I understand, this was
related to a bad variable type when porting the code to java. Do I miss
something?
