[OS X Emacs] [aquamacs-devel] Aquamacs 3.5 coming soon -- test now

[David Reitter]

There are some settings with respect to the encoding of filenames, so I would look there.
If this is with a vanilla Aquamacs (please try - perhaps even -Q), an operating system incompatibility could be considered (though I find that less likely).

David
