If bash is broken why I can not see it ? I'm using bash 2.03 and all
russian filenames and such works just fine ...

P.S. Of course I said (via .inputrc) that I need support for 8bit characters
for both input and output (it's in bash's info under "Command Line Editing",
"Readline Init File", "Readline Init File Syntax": input-meta,
convert-meta, output-meta, etc).
