Description Nikolai Weibull 2005-01-06 07:41:00 UTC 
The progress-bar patch to the coreutils package included in the Gentoo set of patches against said package contains a non-breaking space (character code 160) instead of a normaal one.  The problem with this is that this code is very illegal in UTF-8 and most non-latin based (ISO8859) character sets.  Thus, this space should be replaced with a normal one (character code 32).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. % LANG=en_us.UTF-8 cp --progress <large enough file> <destinaton>
2. 
3.

Actual Results:  
The output is corrupted, albeit not very badly.

Expected Results:  
The output should be fine.
