This gives me "cp0".

If I force this function to 'utf8' or 'cp1252', then it works for me.

Also, I noticed that if I try "chcp", it gives me:

Active code page: 0

...but if I try...

> chcp 1252
Active code page: 1252

...and then run Bazaar, it works, but only for the current session.

If that helps, locale.getpreferredencoding() gives me "cp1252", and
locale.getdefaultlocale() gives me "('pt_BR', 'cp1252')".
