On Solaris 2.6 with ja_JP.PCK locale,
Java interpreter can't get Shift-JIS encoding characters correctly as command line arguments.

Please try these steps.
 1)Login Solaris 2.6 with ja_JP.PCK locale.
 2)Compile following program.
 3)Execute below in command line.
%java ArgsTest A 65
%java ArgsTest ‚  12354
%java ArgsTest l 20154
%java ArgsTest ‰N 19985

Only "A" is got correctly.
Other characters(Shift-JIS) are changed.

public class ArgsTest {
    public static void main(String args[]) {

for(int i = 1; i < args.length; i++) {

String ns = new String(line);

System.out.println("okay:" + args[0] + "=" + ns);
