I've just installed ja_JP.eucJP locale on by debian machine,
and made a file "abc\ndef".  But, it works well in my case
even in ja_JP.eucJP locale.  I tried also a file that
contains Japanese characters and a new line, but still it
works.

So, I have no idea what's wrong with the current code.
Could you debug it?
