Yes, that's it.

No, I don't. It just appeared from the documentation and what I saw 
online that the internal_encoding should be set to EUC. However, I went 
and changed the internal_encoding to Shift_JIS and it seems to work. 
Any idea if this is a good or bad idea?

Thanks for the tip. Right now, with the internal_encoding set to 
Shift_JIS, I don't have the problem any more; however, I'll give it a 
try if I'm encouraged not to use Shift_JIS for the internal_encoding.

Thanks again!
