Right.  They should either restrict themselves to ascii (or possibly 
latin-1) filenames or use current 3.x.  This is one of the (known) 
unicode problems fixed in 3.x by making unicode the core text class, 
replacing the implementation of unicode, and performing further work 
with the new implementation.
