I took a stab at this with the attached patch. It works nicely in my
Ubuntu-setup and even sorts non ascii characters such as åäö in the correct
order. I did not get any error messages in the terminal so thats nice. The
messages may or may not show up on other platforms though. I can not test
it on any other platform at the moment but if I understand the bug report
correctly the only negative effect was error messages in the terminal.


Unrelated question:
Is the review-tag correct for this type of message?
