Hi,
I don't think we've ever checked the filenames, so the code is assuming
that it gets UTF-8.

I'm not sure if we have a way to reliably check the encoding of the
filename. Which operating system and filesystem type are you using?

I tried this with gsdl-2.39 and accents with a character code below
(decimal) 128 are ok, but accents above 127 cause the file to be
badly-formed XML.

Thanks for pointing this out. Sorry I can't suggest a fix or a
work-around...
