Comment (by igloo):
Thanks for looking into this, and for adding an FAQ entry, Jony!
I can see two easy options: Just close the bug, or add a flag to disable
setting the code page. The comment in the source says
{{{
On Windows we need to set a known code page, otherwise the characters
we read from the console will be be in some strange encoding, and
similarly for characters we write to the console.
}}}
Does anyone know how likely it is that something sane will happen if the
code page is not set? Presumably we won't have too long a wait until there
is a Vista fix?
