I followed the suggestion to use UTF-8 for internal conversions when the
locale is set to "C".  This will also be used as default conversion when
converting the Windows environment from UTF-16 to multibyte, unless the
environment contains a valid LC_ALL/LC_CTYPE/LANG setting.  The current
working directory was also potentially unusable, if an application
switched the locale.  Now the CWD is re-evaluated after a setlocale call.

Is Unicode normalization an issue here?
