I won't be picky about what kind of data loss is serious or not. In this particular case, user data are get corrupted without any user interaction except opening and modifying a document. If you wouldn't call that 'serious data loss' at least you should call it 'data loss'. That means severity 'grave' [1], not important. >> I use >> >> qemu win98bug.img -hdb fat:rw:test >> >> I know from /usr/share/doc/qemu/qemu-doc.html that I shouldn't use >> non-ASCII filenames, etc. >> >> Apparently data loss occurs, if the *contents* of the file contain some >> non-ASCII characters.

Care to retry with this version ? I would like to. The only problem is that I am quite happy at the moment with my *stable* system(s) and updating would require to also update libc6, essentially moving too much of the system to testing/unstable. Are you planning on releasing a backport? It will require some time and space for me to install and setup another system for verification of this issue.
