--- Comment #1 from Kubilay Kocak <koobs@FreeBSD.org> ---
This is a common class of bug not specific to FreeBSD.

Without an encoding specified for the open() method, it relies on the defau=
lt
system encoding(non-deterministic), which may not be UTF8 (in this case asc=
ii)
[1].

The solution is to specify the encoding to be used, so as not to be
platform/system dependent.
