(a bit behind in reading my mail, but had to
put in my US$.02)
Is it possible that the JIS encoding has some
characters that are normally non-printable in
ascii, or even extended-ascii? I'm thinking
down in the <32 range ... perhaps even a '\0'.
If you print the user ID in hex, you'll get
everything, every time ... so if the user id
(in hex) turns out to be
:64:65:C1:03:31:
an ascii display might show
@AB�1
skipping entirely over the 0x03.
Send your Japanese user a program to print
the user name out in hex, and have him send
you the result.
