Hi!

I'm still stuggling with getting the german umlauts (ä,ö,ü, a.s.o)
working on my thinclient installation.
The really strange thing is, that it doesn't seem to be a keyboard
layout problem at all.

When I'm at the ash command prompt, I can _NOT_ type ö, ä, ü and what
is really strange, I cannot type the § character.

In the following output I tried to enter these characters in the first
line (you can't see them, because they didn't get accepted).
In the second line, I used the `read` builtin to fill a variable with
input and that worked perfectly.

I can reproduce this every time and on all my systems (even with a
freshly compiled busybox on my desktop system), so I'm sure it has
nothing todo with keyboard layout settings, language settings, etc.

~/busybox/busybox-1.9.0 $ ll"!$"$"$
~/busybox/busybox-1.9.0 $ read TEST
äöü"!§$
~/busybox/busybox-1.9.0 $

Can anyone reproduce this too?

ciao,
