Package: rezound
Version: 0.12.0beta-1
Followup-For: Bug #310134

This particular character in the filename also breaks find, locate and
ls when the user's locale is UTF-8.

The reason for this is that in UTF-8, that character forms the start
of a multibyte character sequence.  Since the character is not
followed with the required second byte, the filename cannot be seen by
locate 'p*aps' or by find:-

$ find /usr/share -maxdepth 1 -name "*maps"
/usr/share/pixmaps
/usr/share/keymaps
$ LANG=POSIX find /usr/share -maxdepth 1 -name "*maps" | iconv -f latin1 -t 
utf8/usr/share/pixmaps
/usr/share/keymaps
/usr/share/p�aps


This sort of filename also confuses "ls":-

$ pwd
/usr/share
$ ls -1 --ignore='*'
p?xmaps
$ ls -1 | wc -l
279
$

I think it's better if we avoid the use of such filenames.
