The files are 1.6 MB in size, each. The original one is for example:  
http://ftp.funet.fi/pub/kermit/charsets/utf8.txt, the other one has  
an extra header line

        ;;; -*- mode: Text; coding: utf-8; -*-

The recipe to create the other file is

        echo ";;; -*- mode: Text; coding: utf-8; -*-" > utf8_txt
        cat utf8.txt >> utf8_txt

So there is an obvious text file ``utf8.txt´´ without any Emacs  
specific header line and one that is forced to be in text mode and in  
UTF-8 encoding because of the header line, named ``utf8_txt´´.

I also have smaller UTF-8 files, but obviously it is at least needed  
to have some Japanese (CJK?) characters in them (because the mode- 
line starts with ``-E:--´´ for Japanese?). The error becomes visible  
because subst-big5.el, subst-gb2312.el, subst-jis.el, and subst- 
ksc.el are loaded.
