It's general for all people where ALL of the following conditions are
true:

 * they have a non-latin-1 default coding system (or read files with the
   coding: spec) which produces/reads 8bit chars ().

 * they use \usepackage[latinN]{inputenc} where N != 1

 * their system does not have the locale command

 * they don't read the warnings issued by X-Symbol (OK, it's a bit
   hidden with Emacs < 21.4).

 * they don't read carefully the installation instruction while using
   beta software.

As I said, probably next week.  BTW, you are allowed to send patches.
