Upstream does not handle multibyte locales very well. It is a much bigger problem than just expand, and while some distros like Fedora have provided downstream hacks that attempt to provide UTF-8, I am not very willing to port them to cygwin if they aren't in a shape to push upstream first (particularly since cygwin's wchar_t is a different width than glibc, and therefore the downstream patches for Linux may fail to work on cygwin without a lot of tweaking). --=20 Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org --lvmQ25culSBoMc5hHTJiFxtSoOI0XixEQ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" Content-length: 604 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: Public key at http://people.redhat.com/eblake/eblake.gpg Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJTcOB+AAoJEKeha0olJ0NquKwIAKuF0+mlXZHxPN0XvikPn/3Z 8LK/kyFpn+2iJdTvxXNdWOecKb5+g61xAkM685tBiH/S+jz73fYo3y3Fc4luKiSs xdhQD2U7s/EyqXiZCMJWW7XlWeKpH0FaYr5CgBQpdMVlyEgIHNpT7zRHyOFXdwKN QhgZi+/tvObmZUHYhE/lY/KpINy7POPDg4jMk9n3CH/O8tFT4AunbM8FIzCRzIq1 3b9q1xA27MFuZZCbPaesOAypT+47phyNgyab9WI+xDnG4LXayoHjzccwLZ4ZZsdg veJvakv7K50CeAhch3bk4Nov9toXv3L62ZO7ty1LxoNlDcN78yKEz4Wl5HMzI+A= =ClrO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --lvmQ25culSBoMc5hHTJiFxtSoOI0XixEQ--
