As a result function rb_locale_charmap refers to not existing codepage: CP0. It has a dramatic performance drawback on the system when for ex. enumerating through ENV. The attached patch simple checks if the GetConsoleCP() returns 0 and if so uses the actual system codepage. -- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
