Description nakai 2001-09-10 01:03:31 UTC
Nautilus core dumps at About dialog in Japanese environment.
There is a author name in the about dialog that has Latin1 chars, and In
Japanese environment
It can't handle it when converting from lang-dependent codeset(EUC-JP) to UCS2.
(mbstowcs() func, currently.)

You should not use Latin1 charactor in the original messages in apps.
The latin1 person is: 'Pavel Cisler", (change i to i in ASCII.)

Apparently the U.S. version can't use any non-ASCII characters, unless we use a
translated "en_US" variant.

Dumping core would be bad.  P3.

OK, I will fix this by removing non-ascii characters from the built-in authors
names (sorry Pavel).

Ramiro just told me to assign this one to him, since he's working on a similar
one and he might be able to save Pavel's name.

If we do end up changing the name, then make sure to fix the check-THANKS.pl script 
also so it doesn't complain (or get me to do it).

Bug 47169 and bug 47170 filed about the underlying problem that causes Pavel's
name to not work. If we decide to fall back to a non-fancy name, we still want
to fix those bugs at some point.

this is now fixed, by using the plain 'i' in Pavel's last name.
