Again, just to be clear, ALL my machines are running WinXP, and ALL of them 
return "437" (United States) from a "mode con codepage /status" query.  None of 
the flac files with diacritic characters in their filenames were ripped on or 
stored on a linux box or anything with a UTF8-aware file system.  All the 
filenames are straight Win32 ANSI.

Also, I'm only noticing this problem with whole-album flac files.  Individual 
track MP3 files with diacritic names seem to scan just fine, though they don't 
always display right.  
E.g.: "C:\Recordings\Music\l_Modern_Central_European\JanÃcek, L\Orchestral 
Works -- CSP, Serebrier\06 - LaÅskà tance (1924) - 1 StarodÃvnà I.mp3" 
scans 
and plays just fine, though Slimserver doesn't like to display the "Å".

If I take an otherwise good flac file and rename it to that same "LaÅskà 
tance" 
filename (but with a .flac extension) it becomes invisible to slimserver, even 
after forcing a rescan via stopping the service and deleting the .db file from 
the cache dir.

Also, it seems like the problem only crops up if the diacritic character is in 
the flac filename itself.  Flac files with out diacritics in the filename, but 
with diacritcs in directory names seem to scan ok.

So, unless I'm doing something really inane here, I do think this is a bug.
