MDK 10.1; tcsh and swedish characters not working


If I use bash I can enter the swedish characters åäöÅÄÖ w/o any problem but if I use tcsh only lowercase ö works.
The others result in the cursor moving when I press the key but nothing shows. If I press the same key again both characters show up.
If I then try to erase them with <Backspace> it only requires one press to erase both.

I have
SYSFONTACM=iso01
SYSFONT=lat1-16
LANGUAGE=sv_SE:sv
LANG=sv_SE
and so on...
in /etc/sysconfig/i18n and I get the same regardless of window manager or terminal (and even in the console).

I have tried compiling my own tcsh and ncurses (since bash uses termcap I thought ncurses might be the culprit) w/o any luck.

Any ideas?

For completness sake I'll answer myself:
The workaround (as found on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla...g.cgi?id=57302) is to enter 'unset dspmbyte'
