Issue #5486 has been reported by Nikolai Weibull.

----------------------------------------
Bug #5486: rb_stat() doesn���t respect input encoding
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/5486

Author: Nikolai Weibull
Status: Open
Priority: High
Assignee: 
Category: core
Target version: 
ruby -v: ruby 1.9.3dev (2011-09-13 revision 33263) [i386-mingw32]


rb_stat() overrides the input strings encoding and applies one of various encodings through rb_str_encode_ospath().  This may be convenient for certain kinds of user input or input from a source file in a different encoding, but it isn���t good for other kinds of user input or input from other functions, such as Dir.entries.

If Ruby wants us to be explicit about encodings, then Ruby shouldn���t change it behind our backs.

I suspect that this is an issue that may appear in various other functions as well.
