This it almost definately NOT correct. Assuming that it was ISO 8859-1
is wrong, and if it was already UTF-8, disabling it is plain
unacceptable. And console is in UTF-8 in other cases except Greek.
I am looking into this myself, but I don't want to make it impossible
for others to use the console. Assumptions like the ones you made are
not good.
