User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7

See sumary and steps to reproduce

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a file with an acute accent or any other type of accent
2. Open Firebird, click File and then "Open File..."
3. Go into the directory where you created the file
4. If Firebird doesn't crash, select All in "Files of types:" list
Actual Results:  
Firebird crash without warning

Expected Results:  
Firebird should list the files even if they have acute accent in it

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7

It is crashing whether the file is on an EXT3 or FAT32 partition

Found the bug when I tried to attach a file with an acute accent in it on
mail.yahoo.com, they are using an Open Window for attachment.

No problems here:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113

Not sure if there's one character in particular, I tried with the following:

Works for me using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7a)
Gecko/20040209 Firebird/0.8.0+

Marking WFM. Please try installing into a new directory and creating a new
profile, using the MozillaFirebird.exe -p switch, and report your results here.
Please reopen if you still see this then.

This is like a bug I have in xchat, see :
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=861513&group_id=239&atid=100239

Seems like my charset is not well configured on my computer.  I searched a lot
on how to change it but never got a solution, not even a clue, maybe someone
here knows it ?

Hm, what variables do you have configured related to locale or character set
(CHARSET, LANG, LC_ALL, etc)?

run: export | more

I'm not familiar with gentoo, but there might be an app to configure this stuff.

You could try to 'unset' some of these to see if it helps...

CHARSET=ISO_8859-1
LANG=C
LC_ALL=C

Thanks a lot for your hints, I found that my variables CHARSET didn't exist in
my system, I then took a look in /etc/rc.conf and saw this line that I modified :
CONSOLETRANSLATION="8859-1_to_uni.trans".

Then I "emerge -C xchat" and "emerge xchat" to uninstall and re-install it, I
opened xchat and now the charset is saying "ISO_8859-1" and I have been able to
open this file in Firebird 0.7 : "aИoШНитншБбЮхХ".

Hopefully this post might help others having the same problem.
