Summary: tk_chooseDirectory -initialdir internationalization problem

Initial Comment:
The problem can be observed when we use the Japanese name for the folder name.

For example:

tk_getOpenFile -initialdir [file join $env(HOME) "テスト"]

This works fine, the dialog opens $env(HOME)/テスト

"テスト" is a folder written in Japanese.

However,

tk_chooseDirectory -initialdir [file join $env(HOME) "テスト"]

This does not work properly.

The dialog does not indicate $env(HOME)/テスト but indicates $env(HOME) and a part of "テスト" is ignored.

This problem can be observed on Windows version of Tcl/Tk.
On UNIX version, this may not be observed, at least on Fedora 8, there seems no problem, it works fine. Thanks.

Keiichi
