If you wrote a program like this and execed it 

public static void main ( String args[] )
 {
 for ( String arg: args )
   {
   out.println ( arg );
   }
 }

There are two places chars could potentially get scrambled -- coming
in on the command line and going out to the console.   Consoles use
IBMOEM charset which is pretty well guaranteed to screw things up.
see http://mindprod.com/jgloss/encoding.html

A way to tackle this is to write a dummy program that you spawn.  All
it does it dump out the chars from the command line  in hex. That way
you can figure out where the chars are getting scrambled.

e.g. open the task editor, find and kill some processes.
