I can betatest it if you want, but anyway this is a reason as good as any to switch my box to 2.6.x
I don't find 2.6.x stable enough to run it on my box, but the development model won't change in the near future, so I think I'll have to live with that. I would love a backport, of course, but I prefer to have an utf8 capable console.
Thanks a lot for the patch :)
