Subject: c-api: rb_str_new


Hello,

I have trouble using rb_str_new[2] and German umlauts.
The umlauts will be escaped:

c program: 
static VALUE test(VALUE self, VALUE word) {
   char *str = STR2CSTR(word);
   printf("got: %s\n", str);
   return rb_str_new2(str);
}

from ruby:
p foo.test("F�lschung")

will print: 
got: F�lschung
"F\344lschung"

Both worlds (c and ruby) handle the string correctly, but
the translation fails. 
Do I have to adjust the encoding? Some idea? 

Best regards,
Matthias
