It works for me on Linux. The error message is probably wrong. Isn't it
possible to convert each string encoded in a special encoding into
UTF-8?

Maybe try it in another locale if possible (LANG=C on POSIX, i.e. use a
different default encoding such as latin1)?

I know that some files created on Linux could not be extracted in
Windows (such as aux.c, ...). But the error message is different ...

Don't know what's going on.
