[Bug c/29934] New: duplicate typedef produces error message containing a bad character.

[Bug c/29934] New: duplicate typedef produces error message containing a bad character.

[bradley-k-gnu dot e2d0b7 at bradley dot csail dot mit dot edu]

Start with this code
---- cut here to start foo.c ----
typedef typedef struct abc ABC;
---- cut here to end foo.c ----
Note the duplicate typedef.  This program contains an error.

When I do
 gcc foo.c -c
I get
foo.c:1 error: duplicate <ahat>

Where <ahat> is really some sort of funny character that looks like an "a" with
an accent above it.

I am guessing that the format statement is malformed or that the string is
uninitialized.  It should probably say
 foo.c: 1 error: duplicate typedef

I am using gcc-4.1.1-30 from fedora core 6.
gcc -v says
 gcc version 4.1.1 20061011 (Red Hat 4.1.1-30)

This is on an AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+ running Gnu/Linux.

Try setting the env variable LANG to "C".

I propose that you close this bug as a "non-bug".
The real problem appears to be that when I ssh to this machine in a cygwin
xterm, something funny is going on.  The error message is properly printed if
no xterm is involved.
