openoffice-1.1-devel unable to handle some folder names

I haven't explicitly set the locale, so it's the FreeBSD default 
(probably en_US). However, I have my keyboard map set to German. Though 
that, of course, does not affect the locale.

I created a new document in OOo Writer and saved it as "äöü.sxw". Ls 
tells me the file name is "???.sxw", so there definitely is a screw-up 
with character coding at that point.

 > 2) Can OOo reopen the file by name?

Yes, OOo can reopen that file. Curiously though OOo also tells me the 
file name is "???.sxw". But it's still able to open the file just fine. 
That's really puzzling.

Any ideas on what to try?
