[PD-dev] tclpd vs unicode on GNU/Linux

Hey Federico,

I just finished getting full unicode support on Pd-extended 0.43.4 and ran
into a bizarre problem.  It turns out that when tclpd is loaded by default, Pd
freaks out on some Portugeuse text like "modulação". Replace the ç and ã with
c and a, and the problem goes away. Or stop loading tclpd at startup and the
problem goes away.  I attached the patch in question.  This only happens on
GNU/Linux, Windows and Mac OS X are unaffected.

I tried looking around the code, and using strace to follow the function
calls, but I didn't see anything.  I'd like to be able to include tclpd by
default in Pd-extended, but this is a show stopper.
