>Environment:
RedHat 7.1, gcc 3.0.2, libc 2.2.3
>Description:
We have a sample program ftped from a Windows machine. It uses special characters above ASCII 128 like the registered trademark characters 0xae. If we define a wchar_t variables and assign this character the pointer to the variable shows a value 0xffffffae. With Linux S/390 and x86 it works fine and the value is 0xae as expected. I attach the sample program.
