This is from Bank of New York, case 65349268.
Cu has to upgrade from 1.2.2 to 1.4.2 for the DST fix.

The following test program demonstrates that in 1.2.2, the broken
vertical line "\246" character is interpreted correctly regardless of
input/output encodings. But with 1.3.1 or above, the test only works
correctly if both input and output encodings -> 8859_1.

Please see test program below and the input file from attachment
in this bug report.



jdk 1.2.2_17:

% java test2 8859_1 8859_1 < input
