Might be. As none of us involved in UTF8/iconv development could read or
write Hebrew, our tests have been rather "artificial". However, we =
tested
with hebrew filenames under OS X, and the last character before the
extension (.) was always a hebrew character. IIRC there were no =
problems.

We didn't test with OS9, as non of us uses or even could use a Hebrew
version ;-)

Could you please provide a network dump, so we can figure out what's =
going
wrong? I'd like to see what the client asks for. If possible, please =
post a
filename causing problems as well. Best would be a UTF8 named file =
packed as
tar.gz, so we can simply unpack it on our test machines.

Thanks,
