I believe, Ivan tested both on his system -- he own charset is usually
UTF-8. Ivan, could you confirm, please?
That said, I don't think, the Solaris bug mentions crashes for UTF-8
users either way...
We need a solution of some sort. I'm surprised, this hasn't been
reported yet... The utf8_collate function in glib, pretty much, has two
different implementations #ifdef-ed by the __STDC_ISO_10646__. Can
anybody on this thread ask the glib developers, what the right use of
the define is?
Thanks!
