not really. my normal env. is a non utf-8 env. I started a new shell in
an xterm via
xterm -u8 -fn "-Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--18-120-100-100-C-90-ISO10646-1"
and set the floowing locales:
LANG=en_US
LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf-8
LC_NUMERIC="en_US"
LC_TIME="en_US"
LC_COLLATE="en_US"
LC_MONETARY="en_US"
LC_MESSAGES=de_DE.utf-8
LC_PAPER="en_US"
LC_NAME="en_US"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US"
LC_ALL=

tin was linked against libncursesw and I got the 'grabbled' output.
