Re: emacs misbehaves without --unibyte

It should work fine if you've set the languange environment correctly
(so it knows what the non-ASCII characters are), e.g. by using
`set-language-environment', or having an appropriate setting of LANG.

If you don't want to do that, you can just tell it how to interpret file
names, like:

   (setq file-name-coding-system 'latin-1)
