Description:
In 6.0 tree all non-lastin1 error messages in errmsg.txt are corrupted

How to repeat:
see errmsg.txt

[9 Oct 2008 11:21] Sergei Golubchik

To make errmsg.txt more robust against such errors in the future, we could convert it all to utf8. And comp_err will convert error messages into the charset specified in the beginning of errmsg.txt.

That is, errmsg.sys will still be in different charsets,  and internal processing in the server won't be changed. It's only to make editing of errmsg.txt safer.

(the refactoring of internal handling of error messages is also unavoidable, but not as a part of this bugfix :)
