I seem to recall I grumbled about a similar thing awhile back (also
development series), and nothing anyone suggested worked for me. So I
suffer through it when it happens. Or pipe it through "more" if I'm
curious.

My scenario being that sitting at a Linux box running X, xterms running
sessions locally accented chars as "?", but xterms running sessions on a
Solaris box display accented chars properly. Twiddling with locale
settings or using --enable-locales-fix, neither seems to work.

The *only* obvious thing I've found is differing versions of ncurses (4.2
on Linux, 5.0 on Solaris) and
(a) I'm not root, so I can't upgrade the Linux one and
(b) I ran into all sorts of grief (don't remember what it was, but I get
    the shakes thinking about it) trying to install my own copy.

I'd love to hear some insights.
