FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.0_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0_01-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0_01-b03, mixed mode)

Windows Millennium [Versao 4.90.3000]
("Versao" = "version" in portuguese)


EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
My OS is a portuguese version. It may be relevant because
portuguese language use accents.

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I have a HTML page and an applet in a directory
named "capítulo" (notice the accent at the "i"). And the
applet doesn't run (this is, when I load the HTML page, it
keeps "loading" the applet forever). But if I change the
name of the directory to "capitulo" (notice that now
the "i" doens't have an accent) it runs well.

So, it seems to me that JRE has some problem with special
characters like accents.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Copy a HTML page and an applet to a directory with an
accent in is name (for example, "capítulo"). Try to open
the HTML page. The applet doesn't rum (the page keeps
loading forever).
2. Change the name of the directory to a name without
accent (for example, "capitulo"). Open the HTML page. The
applet will run fine.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
I expect that the applet run well no matter if the name of
the directory as an accent or not.

What really happens is that the applet runs well if the
name of the directory does not have an accent and do not
run well if the name as an accent.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER WORKAROUND :
Changing the name of the directory to a name without
accents.
