The main problem (atleast causing the problem on RH9) showed to be a 
call to setlocale() that was not restored correctly.
To make it work on RH7 (and others) I've had to make some assumtions 
that if G_BROKEN_FILENAMES is not set, try g_locale_to/from_utf8() and 
if that failes, try ISO-8859-1.
Now it is working on all platforms I have, eventhough I don't like to 
make the assumptions.
