cfdisk and utf-8

Hi all,

it's not even a problem, but just disturbing: When using cfdisk, it shows "äöü" but not "ß".

My config: I use Gentoo, actual kernel: gentoo-2.6.15-r7, completely merged to utf-8 (the error accured even a few subversions before)

I doublechecked the config-files with help of all of the following links (and some others, I even don't remember):
- www.gentoo.org/doc/en/utf-8.xml
- de.gentoo-wiki.com/utf-8.xml
- de.gentoo-wiki.com/Deutsche_Lokalisierung
- tldp.org/HOWTO/Unicode-HOWTO.html

I googled and searched in many forums, but couldn't find anything about this phenomenon. May be, I'm just silly, but I don't think, it's a gentoo problem nor that I made a mistake during migration to utf-8, because most other apps work fine. Same does my filesystem.

Now my questions:
- Does anyone know a solution or bugfix for this?
- Which group is responsible for the util-linux package, so I can post a question there? Is it "www.kernel.org" or what else?

Thanks for help!
