Bhaskar, I think Mano was referring to the handling of strings with UTF-8 encoding. That is what his linux desktop was configured for at the beginning of the discussion. When he would type into a terminal with GTM (or without, I presume), the greek characters would be entered as two bytes. Not a bug, but since $L() and other intrinsic functions currently assume one-byte characters, multi-byte characters would have to be handled with extrinsic functions.
