Bug#584801: problem with German umlaut

[Harald Dunkel]

Package: xterm
Version: 258-1

If I switch off UTF-8 mode and do 'cat strasse.txt' (attached) in bash, then
the text is cut off at the German umlaut. 'xterm -e tail -f strasse.txt'
shows the same problem. Using /bin/sh (a symlink to dash) the shell even
gets stuck (which us a severe problem).

There is no such problem for gnome-terminal. Instead of the umlaut
it prints '??'. dash exits as usual. I would suggest to do the same
for xterm.
