NSString (NSUTF8StringEncoding) does not work anymore

[Andreas Hoeschler]

Hi all,

I downloaded the latest cvs today (last time is already a few weeks 
ago). Since the last upgrade I have poblems with NSString and 
NSUTF8StringEncoding. Has anybody altered this code in the last 8 weeks? 
The following code fragment works on MacOSX and I believe also worked on 
GNUstep (before my latest upgrade)

      NSData *unicodeData = [NSData 
dataWithContentsOfFile:@"test5.data"];
      NSString *unicodeStr = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:unicodeData 
encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
      NSLog(@"unicodeData %@", [unicodeData description]);
      NSLog(@"unicodeStr %d '%@'", [unicodeData length], unicodeStr);

Differenz 259,2 Rm x 0,50\\u20ac = 129,6\\u20ac'

This is what I expect. Now after upgrading, on GNUstep I get

bash-2.03$ ./FBTest

What is wrong here? I am attaching the file containing the data in 
question. The text contains a euro sign. Could this cause the problem?
