Would Отсутствует be correct? The "root" that 22.3 reported was 
hardcoded, as 22.3 did not try to report file ownership on Windows.

Hi, Emacs maintainers!

I'he got the following trouble/bug.

I've tested it on emacs-from-cvs-090503, OS WinXP Home SP2.

On type M-x dired emacs shows \316\362\361\363\362\361\362\342\363\345\362 instead of root.

Here is example:

drwxrwxrwx  1 Administrators SYSTEM                                         0 05-30 13:34 Common Files
drwxrwxrwx  1 User           \316\362\361\363\362\361\362\342\363\345\362   0 01-19 00:10 Comodo

Emacs 22.3 if free of it:

drwxrwxrwx  1 User           root        0 05-30 13:34 Common Files
drwxrwxrwx  1 User           root        0 01-19 00:10 Comodo

My codepage is 1251.

I try to add my .emacs somthing like this:
(setq file-name-coding-system 'utf-8)
or
(setq file-name-coding-system 'cp1251)
but nothing changed.

Unless I'm blind, `file-attributes' does not decode the user and group
names by the locale's encoding, is that true?  It should, IMO.

If I'm right, this problem should show on other platforms as well, not
just on Windows, when the owner's or group's names include non-ASCII
characters.

Other platforms don't in general use the internal ls-lisp implementation 
to generate dired buffers, and most systems use utf-8 encoding in the 
locale these days, so even if file-attributes is called somewhere else 
with 'string as its second argument, there is a good chance that Emacs 
23 will display the username correctly without decoding.

Also, while trying to test this, adduser refused to work, advising:

adduser: To avoid problems, the username should consist only of
letters, digits, underscores, periods, at signs and dashes, and not 
start with
a dash (as defined by IEEE Std 1003.1-2001).

So the probability of users on other systems running into this bug are 
fairly low.

OK, but the solution should still be general, in `file-attributes',
and it is to decode the string by locale-coding-system, don't you
agree?
