i've got access to two linux boxes where alt_charset in screen seems
broken. on a third linux box (and several freebsd boxes) it works fine.
the difference seems to be the locale, which does not adversely affect
alt_charset in other terminal emulators.
screenshots and explanations:
1) the way things should work with alt_charset behaving properly on a
recent linux install. the locale is set to "POSIX".

2) broken. this is also a recent linux box. the alt_charset is hosed and
the locale is set to "en_US.UTF-8". note that some of the output is
displayed as double-characters.

3) using the same box as #2 i ran "export LC_CTYPE=C" before starting
screen. then under screen the alt_charset is displayed correctly.

is there an easy way to properly fix this? am i doing something wrong? or
is this a bug in screen?
thanks...
