Summary: lexical error with non-ascii chars in literals

Initial Comment:
For GHC 6.4 on SuSE Linux 9.2 (installed from the GHC RPM).  
 
When including SOME non-ascii characters in character or 
string literals, in the source code, I get a "lexical error in 
string/character literal" error message. Examples are some 
french accents and german umlauts - é,Ü,Ä. However, with 
other characters from the same set (like üä) there is no 
problem, they are processed correctly 
 
I checked with Hugs and there were no problems, so it seems 
to be a GHC bug.
