Cant <redirect from file names containing Cyrillic "с"

[jimav]

Binary package hint: dash

dash can not open files for input <redirection if the file names contain the character "с" (code U+0438, a Cyrillic small letter).
Many other Cyrillic characters seem unaffected.

Since dash is used for /bin/sh, this problem may break any /bin/sh scripts which may encounter Cyrillic characters in file names.

DEMO SCRIPT:

#!/bin/dash
file="Леб и Вино (2005) Македонски Пески (flac).m3u"
ls -ld "$file"
while read line ; do
   echo "GOT $line"
done < "$file"

RESULTS:
The ls command output is correct, so the filename is not corrupted immediately. However the shell barfs trying to redirect stdin for the while loop; dash prints the error:
"cannot open Леб и Вино (2005) Македон�ки Пе�ки (flac).m3u: No such file"

Note that in the error message, the 'с' characters are replaced by something which, in my system at least, displays as a black diamond with a question mark (�).
