some of your characters did not translate properly for email
here is a script that just checks utf-8 s-tzet
---
s=$'\303\237'
a=( name=$s )
b=$s
for lang in C de_DE.UTF-8
do export LANG=$lang
printf $'%16s %s : ' $LANG a
print $a
printf $'%16s %s : ' $LANG b
print $b
done
---
and here is the output with the s-tzet char replaced with SS
---
C a : ( name=$'\303\237' )
C b : SS
de_DE.UTF-8 a : ( name=SS )
de_DE.UTF-8 b : SS

this looks correct in my linux/xterm window
is the weirdness that newlines show up for "$a" vs not for $a?
