Please describe the problem:
I have tried a configuration merge for Wine. A directory diff does not show all differences, if a directory name with wrong character encoding is part of one branch. On one side, in directory "All Users" there are "Start Menu" entries, one having a '?' in it, shown in a caret (no visual representation possible). If I remember right, it is the copyright symbol, in a Windows encoding. meld should not choke on that and continue with comparing the branches.


Steps to reproduce:
I don't know how to create such funny directory names. Changing the LANG variable let me show a '?' instead of a caret with '?' inside, but it does not change meld's behavior.
Installing Wine 0.9, then Might & Magic VI, copying away .wine, then updating to a recent version, diffing .wine and old .wine would reproduce it, but it is difficult to get the application which creates the name!


Actual results:
Differences are not shown from that point on.

Expected results:
All differences are shown.

Does this happen every time?
With this special file, yes.


Other information:
Better error handling might help, if the Python interpreter is able to detect it. This is more of a Wine problem because it does not map the charset correctly, but I wondered quite some time what is going on here.
