Description

Parrot has no support for non-ASCII characters in filenames. The filename passed to the system functions is the raw buffer content of a Parrot string regardless of its encoding.

UTF-8 on Linux works in most cases, but that's just luck.

Can you provide a failing test case?

In commit 05b2f96, on nwellnhof's advice, I TODO-ed a test of non-ASCII filenames due to inconsistent results.

UnTODOed in d539bfb because the issue is fixed. Also, that test shouldn't be TODOed without a deprecation notice, is a feature being used, at least on linux.
