'ls' messes up the displaying of columns when displaying non-ASCII
filenames (Russian, in my case, but the problem exists with accented
Latin characters as well).  It appears to regard non-ASCII characters as
having zero width, resulting in the output going beyond the width of
the screen.

The bug can be easily demonstrated by executing the following commands
in a directory with other files in it (assuming an xx_XX.UTF-8 or
ru_RU.KOI8-R locale):

  sh$ touch файл_с_русским_именем.txt
  sh$ ls

While this isn't a fatal problem, it certainly does make the output ugly
and hard to read.
