[Zope] Splitter woes

[Oleg Broytmann]

Hi!

   I made the last proving experiment. I got what I expected.

   I cleaned the environment a bit. I removed VKsplitter (Splitter.py) and
returned back Splitter.so. It is Solaris - one of platforms where I have
problems with russin texts. I restarted Zope and reindex Catalog. Search
with russian letters didn't work.

   I recompiled Splitter.so with the gcc option -funsigned-char. I
restarted Zope and reindex the catalog. Search with russian texts worked!

   Resume: it is not enough to pass (unsigned char) to locale functions.
One need to recompile Splitter.c completely with all chars unsigned.
   Don't know why. But it works (for me).
