Subject: Ediff problem with accents

Hi,
Since recently (new PC installation, in fact), I've got a weird
trouble whose I can't understand the roots of. It's over the
behavior of ediff.
I've always used ediff without any problem. That great tool
always helped me re-reading the changes I've made before
committing and logging a sensible comment.
Now, I can't really used it anymore, as it sees every accent as
being a difference between the source and the modified file...
Here's an example:
,----[ Source buffer ]
| Ce document présente le détail des modifications apportées...
| Avant.
|
|----[ Modified buffer ]
| Ce document présente le détail des modifications apportées...
| Maintenant.
`----
Needless to say that it becomes heavily difficult to distinguish
the real modifications (`Avant' -> `Maintenant') from the "false
positives" (`présente' -> `présente').
Note that this problem only occurs with ediff, not at all with
diff (that only spots the real modifications).
Any help?
Thank you very much,
Seb
