Hello.
Vile in normal mode interprets keypresses made in non-us layout (e.g.
utf-8 cyrillic) as a sequence of us (latin) keypresses and does random
actions or sets 'arg: ' to some huge values. This behaviour makes
confusion when editing. I think that vile should ignore such keypresses.

vile should...

This sounds like a special case which I thought I'd fixed: if your machine
doesn't have the corresponding ru_RU locale data installed, then vile may
have incomplete information on the locale.

Is that the case?

Machine have ru_RU.UTF-8 locale. At least it is generated by glibc's
(v2.12.1) 'localedef' and it is shown in 'locale -a' output list. And I
didn't have any locale issues before except for vile behaviour.

I meant something like this (from my machine's "locale -a"):

ru_RU
ru_RU.iso88595
ru_RU.koi8r
ru_RU.utf8

Some distributions such as Ubuntu don't deliver 8-bit locales, which I've
used to construct a lookup table relating those with UTF-8 encoding, which
is used in various ways.
