Ferret talk - Oct 2007 - wildcard searches with german umlauts

i just noticed a weird problem.

i can successfully search with full terms like
"Fl?chendesinfektionsstufen" or "Regionalan?sthesie" for
example and get
correct hits.

but when i search for those entries with wildcards
"Fl?chendesinfektion*" or "Regionalan?s*" it won''t
find anything

while
"*chendesinfektionsstufen" or "*sthesie" works.

so any wildcarded search that contains any umlauts will fail.

anyone any idea or hint what the problem could be?

I tried to reproduce this, but it worked for me:
http://pastie.caboo.se/105218

yields:

Fl?chendesinfektion* : 1 hit(s)
Regionalan?s* : 1 hit(s)
*chendesinfektionsstufen : 1 hit(s)
*sthesie : 1 hit(s)
