Description:
------------
In PHP 5.2.6 RC3 escapeshellarg removes UTF-8 multi-byte characters (well, to be honest I have only tested german umlauts) from the input. RC1 has worked fine. I suspect that the following entry in the NEWS file has something to do with this: "Properly address incomplete multibyte chars inside escapeshellcmd() (Ilia, Stefan Esser)"

Reproduce code:
---------------
php -r "var_dump(escapeshellarg('?'));"

Expected result:
----------------
string(2) "'?'"

Actual result:
--------------
string(2) "''"

I should add that this has worked fine in RC1.
