Hi Beman,

I tested directory_iterator and fstream for Chinese file names 
on Windows XP Japanese edition. 
directory_iterator worked correctly, but fstream didn't. 

In detail::narrow_path_api(), GetShortPathNameW() is used for getting 
the short 8.3 form names. This function returns an Unicode string 
which contains non-ASCII characters. 
So, mapping from Unicode to ANSI is necessary. 

Please see the the attachment.
