Version: 2:4.0.b3-1
Severity: grave

Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
There is a bug in RAR 4.00 beta 3 that may result to ignoring some files whose
names contain international characters when adding these files to the archive.
This bug has already been fixed in newer versions of RAR (for example, version
from jessie repository - 4.20).
The way to reproduce the bug:
1. Create directory structure with file names that contain international
characters:
mkdir -p test/{01..03}
for i in test/* ; do echo "$RANDOM" > "${i}/${RANDOM}.txt" ; done
for i in test/* ; do echo "$RANDOM" > "${i}/日本語.${RANDOM}.txt" ; done
for i in test/* ; do echo "$RANDOM" > "${i}/Кириллица.${RANDOM}.txt" ;
done
for i in test/* ; do echo "$RANDOM" > "${i}/абырвалг.${RANDOM}.txt" ;
done
Here's the result:
> $ find test -type f | sort
> test/01/Eng.7300.txt
> test/01/абырвалг.19779.txt
> test/01/Кириллица.17866.txt
> test/01/日本語.9967.txt
> test/02/Eng.15108.txt
> test/02/абырвалг.16704.txt
> test/02/Кириллица.12278.txt
> test/02/日本語.2989.txt
> test/03/Eng.6225.txt
> test/03/абырвалг.1869.txt
> test/03/Кириллица.13163.txt
> test/03/日本語.24880.txt
2. Add mentioned directory structure to archive:
rar a -r0 test.rar test
or
find test -type f | rar a -r0 -n@ test.rar
3. List archive contents:
> $ rar l test.rar

As we see, not all the files have been added to the archive.
