I installed the attached patch into master to try to work around the problem 
that prompted the original bug report. This patch assumes that the terminal 
coding system is compatible with the Linux console output mode (either UTF-8, or 
unibyte), which I hope is good enough, as anybody whose locale is incompatible 
with the output mode will have lots of other problems anyway. Please give the 
patch a try.
