What are you specifically trying to open?  What type of file?  Is the file you
are trying to open already opened by another process?  What language were the
files in?  We need some more details here.  Perhaps a testcase, upload a couple
of files to test with?  I can't attempt to reproduce with incomplete information
and no knowledge of what to use for testing.  

Changing severity to Normal.
CCing myself

it seems to appear with any types of files (pictures or htmls).
i'm sure the file isn't in use by another process.
the language is russian, and using russian Win XP SP2.
this problem accurs even in FF clear of any extensions.
in seamonkey mozilla (1.7.2 and any later i think) this problem doesn't appear.

WFM for me with the file provided, but I am not sure that the file you uploaded
is retaining the Russian characters, since when opened it escapes it as an
extended ASCII character.  I am not sure I can reproduce without being on a
Russian version of Windows/Linux, so I am not going to close this bug, but I am
unfortunately unable to confirm it as well.
