Is it possible that the å character is coming from a UTF-16 encoding and is not representable in UTF-8? I'm wondering whether the name has a double-byte representation where one of the bytes is null, resulting in a truncated file name coming from readdir(). The file name would not be representable on some platforms that do not support UTF-16 path names.

Regards,
Randall
