Yes, exactly that. When I run the testcases at the command line and pipe stderr into "od -c", I can see where I get multibyte characters instead of apostrophes. Setting LC_ALL and LANG to C.CP437 gets me genuine apostrophes instead of fancy quotes at the command line, although I haven't figured out how to get the testsuite to DTRT yet. > Actually, we do: "C.ASCII". Ah, that's funny. I thought I had tried both "C.ASCII" and "C.US-ASCII" and neither of them worked, but now I see that plain old "ASCII" does indeed work just fine. Must have fat-fingered something. (Ah, thanks history buffer! I see I managed to use a lower-case 'c'!)
