@anrdaemon, i'm really not sure about Far manager - it is a good software, and it also can
support Unicode. Any program can update codepage at runtime, but that's not going to work well,
especially if no TrueType font is used. Nevertheless, I've pushed a patch to support
output_encoding different from the internal one, please test latest snapshots. There is no default
behavior change. You can experience any kind of mojibake, if you work internally with the encoding
different from the output, but that is your responsibility then.
Yasuo, I've also asked teh reporter in bug #73716 to check the usecase with Japanese locale. To
the times I was testing the multibyte implementation, I was able to verify it and it seems a quite
weird issue with both codepage and the font. I guess, this can also fix issues with similar
multibyte codepages, however i saw not reports yet. I'm going to document the crashing case in
the UPGRADING, and also the changes done in this patch, if it goes well.
Thanks.

1) I guess you installed half of extensions under multibyte pathname. Is this correct?
2) I suppose if you locate these extensions to single byte pathname, then they are loaded. Is this
correct?
3) I use Windows version on occasion so I could be wrong, but doesn't multibyte pathname cause
file access problem on older PHPs?
4) Your problem is code page change on Windows, so you are suggesting enable it like
php --chcp some.php
on Windows? (or --chcp-off to disable)
5) In case of abnormal exit, user may execute "chcp CODEPAGE". This could be documentation
problem. Is this enough for you?

"Extensions not loaded" with subsequent process interruption was how I first stumbled upon
this issue. A worst case scenario, if you wish.
I since found the way to reliable trigger it under normal circumstances.
Asking for "reproduction with cmd" isn't fair, CMD itself doesn't update console
buffer in realtime (nor is CMD strictly required to be present, to begin with⦠99% of the time
I don't use it at all, running PHP scripts straight from other programs though its
association).

So it doesn't load extension, while under Far manager? What is internal redirect? Preferably it
should be reproducible with the pure cmd.
Thanks.
