Not this particular symptom, because it seems that all the ISO-8859-1
words in the dictionary are simply skipped.
I played five rounds and did not get a single word with ä or ö in it.
Statistically speaking, a bit over 10% of the words in the file
words.fin contain a character outside the range a-z (that's 59/486 to be
precise, excluding the first line of the file which is just a label) so
after seeing a few hundred words, I started to recognize many of them as
repeats, but none that had the umlaut vowels (in Finnish, there are not
technically umlauts, but you know which I mean).
This is a freshly installed Intrepid amd64 installation, with
LANG=en_US.UTF-8 but Finnish keyboard preferences. I also tried
LC_ALL=C and LC_ALL=fi_FI.UTF-8 (after installing the Finnish locale via
System Administration Language Support) to no avail. It won't let
me use fi_FI.ISO-8859-1 or fi.ISO-8859-1 or fi_FI.ISO-8859-15 although
they're in /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED but this is probably a locale
problem (see below; notice the error messages from locale).
Also I can't seem to strace the program.
