The problem is with the codeset, not with the locale itself. Maybe you are right, and the same problem exists on Posix hosts in some corner cases, although I'm guessing that the widespread use of UTF-8 as the codeset should make it very rare. > But no one complained so far... so my question: > did you test the patch and does it work for you ? I cannot test it: I have no access to a Windows system with a locale where this problem raises its head. But the change is very simple, and it does TRT, so I think it should be applied. Thanks.
