[1.7] Accented characters don't work


What am I doing wrong with my first tries of 1.7?  I created in Windows
Explorer a directory ÃbÃne and in it a file trÃs.  When I look at it
with ls in an rxvt window I don't see the accented characters but the
two utf-8 bytes.  Hm.

I then created the same directory from tcsh (my standard shell) and
from bash.  And the result is really weird.  When looking at those
directories in Windows Explorer they have Chinese characters at the
place of the accented ones.

This is with any LC* and LANG unset on XP Pro SP3 in a pure US English
locale (Windows wise).

The 1.7 installation is parallel to a 1.5 install but I use the same
home directory and therefore the same .tcshrc for both.

Here's the summary (from a tcsh shell):

There's more strange stuff going on with wildcards but I don't think we
should go into that at this point.  Something basic must be wrong here.

Any ideas?
