Unfortunately, some output converted to Chinese characters. I figured out
that the source must be 'wine', because what I saw closely matched this:

$echo "In file /cache_for_lmi/vcs/wxWidgets/src/msw/mdi.cpp at line 1488: 
'SendMessage(WM_MDISETMENU)' failed with error 0x00000578 (Invalid window

This isn't the first problem that 'wide' characters have caused us:

so I changed the tests to emit ASCII.
