Public bug reported:
When I do "shar -T test.tex > file.shar" on the one-liner file, encoded
in UTF-8:
\chapter{Séries}
everything works fine, and when executing sh file.shar the file is
extracted fine and it is the same as before.
Adding one line to it and turning the file into:
\chapter{Séries}
Séries de potências são essenciais no estudo das funções.
the same command produces a shar file that contains the text. But when
we execute sh (or unshar, or change it into an executable file and
execute it) it fails the MD5 check upon extraction:
$ sh file.shar
x - created lock directory _sh06764.
x - extracting test.tex (text)
test.tex: MD5 check failed
x - removed lock directory _sh06764.
and it produces a file that is recognized as ISO-8859 text and it has all
accents messed up, as in:
\chapter{Séries}
S©ries de potências são essenciais no estudo das funções.
I know the manual says that you may have problems e-mailing files
produced with the -T flag, but this goes beyond mailing -- the file
itself is corrupted.
