libidu/scanners.c and src/lid.c contain multiple calls to Standard C Library entries from the <ctype.h> group: isdigit(), isspace(), isxdigit(), islower() and isalnum().

These functions work on characters, yet their argument type is int, and actual input is required to be either values <i>representable as unsigned char</i>, or EOF.  If you want to pass a generic char argument to any of these functions, it <b>must</b> be cast to unsigned char first.  On platforms where char == unsigned char, that might work all by itself, but that's not something portable code may assume.
