Summary: zexy announce message charset confusion

Initial Comment:
$ pd -stderr -verbose -lib zexy
tried /usr/lib/pd/extra/zexy/zexy.pd_linux and succeeded

        
         the zexy external  2.2.1 
         (l)  forum::f::umlte 
          compiled:  Jun 17 2008  
         send me a 'help' message 
        

$ echo $LANG
en_GB.UTF-8

Without -stderr, TCL/Tk (version 8.5) or Pd's console gets really confused and displays a big empty space with invisible text that shows up only when carefully selected...


other externals may be affected by this issue too...
