Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: coreutils
'expand' doesn't replace tab characters by the correct number of spaces in case
the input data contains multibyte characters, e.g. german umlauts when using
the locale UTF-8.
A small example test file is attached.
I've attached a patch to coreutils 8.4 which works for me, but I'm not
experienced in wide character programming, so there might still be some problem
- more tests and review needed.
Thanks for the work, best regards
Herbert.
