Okay, this gave me some info about why the platforms behaves like they do.
It seems strange that G_BROKEN_FILENAMES is not set on RH7.3, but it is 
set to 1 on RH9... and apparently it should have been the opposite!
Do this really mean that I can't rely on the default setup on neither 
RH7.3 nor RH9 or other Linux distros?
(I haven't done any manual changes around G_BROKEN_FILENAMES.)
I thought (hoped?) the idea was to make it easier to make portable 
applications ;-)
