Running make oldconfig on test5 :
*
* Native Language Support
*
Default NLS Option (CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT) [iso8859-1] (NEW) ?
Codepage 437 (United States, Canada) (CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_437) [N/y/m/?]
Codepage 737 (Greek) (CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_737) [N/y/m/?]
[snip]
.config excerpt :
#
# Native Language Support
#
CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT="?"
# CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_437 is not set
patch against test5 to fix this, tested with make config, make oldconfig
Of course this is broken if anything actually has "?" as a valid input ?
thanks
john

input values are any ASCII string, except for the characters '"' and '\\'.
