This is because in order to simulate "sane" usage of filenames it does translate from user charset to UTF-16, but checks the charset only on the start of the process... and, some mailing list messages seems to say, it also intercepts any setlocale call to change it on-the-fly. Except I couldn't solve it that way, so either lua's os.setlocale does not call setlocale or that "intercept setlocale" feature was not coded in the end... -- Lapo Luchini - http://lapo.it/ “We do what we must because we can.” (videogame "Portal", 2007)
