Bug in expand ? |

Hi
I'm using expand to get formatted output. I've noticed that its behavior is
incorrect with non-ascii texts :
$ /bin/echo -e "Réseau\tInterface\nLAN\teth1" | expand
Réseau Interface
LAN eth1
(one missing space before Interface)
If using it with pure ascii :
$ /bin/echo -e "Reseau\tInterface\nLAN\teth1" | expand
Reseau Interface
LAN eth1
Looks like expand considers that UTF-8 Unicode text character "é" is 2
characters long.
Versions tested :
- expand (GNU coreutils) 8.26 - Debian, Cygwin
- expand (GNU coreutils) 8.30 - Debian
Thx
