Problem converting first half and second half ligatures from UTF8 to MARC8

I have a data string in a UTF8 MARC record that won't
properly convert 
to MARC8.  A portion of the data string in question in hex
is:

73 76 69 EF B8 A0 61 EF B8 A1 73

This should translate to svi<ligature, first half /
combining double 
inverted breve>a<libature, second half / combining
ligature right half> s

The library I am using doesn't convert the ligatures to the
appropriate 
ANSEL characters EB for the first half and EC for the second
half.  No 
diacritics are put in the output stream, so I am left with
text "svis".  
In fact, the marc8r.c file doesn't have an entry for 0xEC,
except in the 
cyrillic and arabic code pages. 

I'm using siconv.c version 1.29.

Any suggestions on how to make this work properly?

Thanks
Gary

I think we fixed this for siconv.c 1.31.

Please try YAZ 2.1.44 or later and tell us if the problem
persists.

Upgrading to the 2.1.48 package seems to have fixed it. 
Thanks
