Fixed in the 4.3.x CVS tree (but not 4.2.x).

(file #12099)

This problem is fixed in the CVS code for findutils.
To resolve your problem, you could either wait for the
next official release of findutils, or check out a copy
of the code from the CVS repository for findutils.

This is probably too significant a change to resolve the problem in findutils-4.2.x. This looks like a candidate for findutils-4.3.x.

In a fully UTF-8 environment (LC_ALL=hu_HU.UTF-8,
UTF-8 filenames) the commands "locate -i é" and "locate -i É"
doesn't find the same set of files, that is, case insensitivity
doesn't work for accented characters.

However, " find -iname 'é' " and " find -iname 'É' "
give the same set of files, so "find" seems to support UTF-8
(at least in this respect).
