It is very reproducible for me.

Mind you, the last comment was from me.  You jumped in (thank you for that) on
the 29th with a comment, not a question, and hastily closed two days later. 
Nobody in their right mind would have expected a response from me and certainly
not in that time frame (I *was* without internet connection during those two
days and you even knew it).  And just because a bug is old it does not become
invalid.

Why the fuck do you now accuse me of schizophrenia? Are you on a personal
mission of some sort?  Calm down, please.

Raising the "this is OZ" flag does not bring you out of your corner either.  OZ
bugs are closed as WONTFIX, not invalid.  Had you closed as "WONTFIX for OZ,
WFM for Angstrom", I would not have objected.  I generally don't do that yet
because we lack released GUI test images for collie for example and I don't see
any rush to close them.  In this case, I just had not have the time to test if
this is applicable in Angstrom (but I do think I did see it).

> I think that justifies closing it as invalid, 

nope, not even remotely and for several reasons.  Please shapen up your skills
on bug triage, I consider the way Ubuntu does it to be best-in-class

I'll gladly answer your questions now that you raise them the first time (way
to go, answer questions first and shoot then!  Not the other way round)

a) it always worked fine on my main machine.  Strange question.
   And I believe I tried this on a file from a CF card or over NFS that I know
   was displayed fine in my main machine.  Can't say for sure, though.  IIRC
b) no
c) don't recall.

I don't care about blaming anyone, I am trying to be constructive.  I am here
to document a malfunction and I am trying to first pinpoint the location of
failure and then if possible try to fix that.  Of course, I might err about the
location I first point to and I think that indeed sh might not "be the one to
blame"

I will have to postpone this one.  Again, I see no rush.  I can live with not
being able to have Japanese filenames.  I just returned from a trip and there
are bigger fish for me to catch right now, both in OE and outside.

Sounds good.  I'm all for it.  I just ask for your patience.  Should it become
hard to bear for you ;-)  just pester me in IRC and I will try to raise the
priority.

Wow, must be the longest comment I ever made ;-)
