strange cat behaviour

[Marko Cupać]

Hi,

I noticed strange behaviour when listing log file which contains
non-ascii characters with cat. It appears to hang at certain non-ascii
character. Issuing ctrl+c un-hangs it and displays the rest of the log.

Here's where it hangs (I redacted non-relevant private information):

[94098] [Tue Jan 17 07:25:27 2017] [info]:
RT::User::CanonicalizeUserInfoFromExternalAuth returning EmailAddress:
aleksandra.surname at example.org, Name: aleksandra.surname,
Organization: Example, RealName: Aleksandra Ä

less doesn't seem to have this problem, here's how above line looks
there:

[94098] [Tue Jan 17 07:25:27 2017] [info]:
RT::User::CanonicalizeUserInfoFromExternalAuth returning EmailAddress:
aleksandra.surname at example.org, Name: aleksandra. surname,
Organization: Example, RealName: Aleksandra
Ä<U+0090>orÄ<U+0091>eviÄ<U+0087>, WorkPhone: +381 66 666 666
(/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/RT/User.p m:811)

Any advice appreciated.
