This could be characterset confusion somewhere: Part of the code
thinks its ISO8859-1 encoding and another part thinks it's UTF-8.
What is your locale set to in FreeBSD?

Out of interest, if you create a file from scratch and save it as
a name including non-ASCII characters:
1) What is the filename reported by ls?
2) Can OOo reopen the file by name?
