The code to parse filenames is not UTF8 aware, and so will cause problems
when splitting a filename into directory and filename components if the
string is a UTF8 string. The offending function appears to be
sqlitepager_open in pager.c, which steps backwards through the path name a
character at a time looking the directory seperator character, which will
obviously be tripped up by a multi-byte character.
You should probably avoid using UTF8 for filenames, or raise a bug if you
really need UTF8 filenames.
