df from coreutils 8.29 displays on PPC Mac OS X 10.5.8, Leopard, German umlauts incorrectly

[Peter Dyballa]

Hello!

The coreutils package is managed by the MacPorts package manager. It  
installs in /opt/local and probably used the Apple enhanced GCC 4.2.4.  
In an environment with

        LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8
        LANG=de_DE.UTF-8

gdf displays:

        pete 309 /\ gdf -Th -t hfs -t smbfs
        Dateisystem    Typ  Grö??e Benutzt Verf. Verw% Eingehängt auf
        /dev/disk0s5   hfs     63G     58G  4,9G   93% /
        /dev/disk0s3   hfs     18G    6,4G   12G   36% /Volumes/BSD-Linux
        /dev/disk0s9   hfs     17G     14G  3,8G   78% /Volumes/Halde
        /dev/disk0s7   hfs     52G     46G  5,3G   90% /Volumes/Tiger

You can see the word "Grö??e" displayed in the header. od (that from  
Mac OS X works correctly, later more) dumps in a shell buffer in GNU  
Emacs:

        pete 311 /\ gdf -Th -t hfs -t smbfs | head -1 | od -t a

You can see gdf does not produce the proper codes. "ö" is in UTF-8 'C3  
86' and ß is 'C3 9F'. In octal notation they are "\303 \206" resp.  
"\303 \237". ä is correctly output as 'C3 A5' or "\303 \244".


And the second bug is with god:

        pete 315 /\ gdf -Th -t hfs -t smbfs | head -1 | god -t a
        0000000   D   a   t   e   i   s   y   s   t   e   m  sp  sp  sp  sp   T

        0000040   t   z   t  sp   V   e   r   f   .  sp   V   e   r   w   %  sp
        0000060   E   i   n   g   e   h   C   $   n   g   t  sp   a   u   f  nl
        0000100
        pete 319 /\ god --version

It converts inappropriate input simply into some nonsense instead of  
preserving the original faulty input for the educated reader. It  
would, OTOH, be an advantage if god would output faulty input in ASCII  
text output mode as text, i.e. \ <digit> <digit> <digit>.

And yes, both utilities produce the exactly same errors on a Mac with  
recent macOS High Sierra, Version 10.13.4,
