Description:
SELECT INTO OUTFILE
If the filename includes chinese charactor, it's changed
If the pathname includes chinese charactor, it's can't find the path name
LOAD DATA 
can recognize the orignal filename which I type in Select statement
can't recognize the orignal pathname which I type in Select statement

How to repeat:
E:\db\bin>mysqld-max-nt.exe --console

mysql> select * from aa;
+------+--------+
| a    | b      |
+------+--------+
| 1    | 111.11 |
+------+--------+
1 row in set (0.04 sec)

mysql> select * from aa into outfile 'e:/db/aa.txt';
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> select * from aa into outfile 'e:/db/中文.txt';

Currently, MySQL does not support filenames in some of multi-byte character sets.

This is a problem that is caused by multi-byte char sequences containing a backslash. 

This is scheduled to be fixed in 5.1.

but mysql 4.0 DOES support multibyte charactor set.

This bug was fixed with introduction of character_set_filesystem.
