Subject: 23.0.60; term.el doesn't manage correctly accented characters typed from keyboard

Hi,

I have $LANG: en_US.UTF-8, and emacs22 used to accept accented
characters typed in a *ansi-term* buffer :

(from emacs22 -Q with M-x ansi-term RET)

$ echo 'éèàù'
éèàù

Emacs23 fails here: accented characters appear when I type them, and
disapear immediately after I type anything else. This seems to be
because accented letters are bound to `self-insert-command' instead of
beign bound to `term-send-raw' as it used to be the case with Emacs22.

As a workaround, I have this:

  (dolist (letter (string-to-list "éÉèÈçÇæÆòÒìÌàÀ€°←↓µùÙè«» "))
    (define-key term-raw-map (vector letter) 'term-send-raw))

But I'm sure a cleaner fix is possible.

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/home/moy/local/usr/share/emacs/23.0.60/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
