B19[.1]: MAJOR problems -- foreign filenames broken; script claims all files can't be found

I just tried upgrading from B18 to B19.1, but the new version is totally
unusable to me. I have a bunch of test files from our Japanese customer
that have Japanese names. With B18, the filenames just looked like a
bunch of junk characters. With B19.1, cygwin32 claims that the files
"can't be found", whether I use ls, find, or whatever. An example
filename (as it shows up with ls -b):
\213L\230^\203`\203F\203b\203N\202P.4gl
Also, I have a script which backs up a bunch of files to my UNIX
account. Under B19.1, every call to tar says "file not found" for every
file. If I run the commands in the script from the commandline, they
work fine (and of course the script works under B18). I will include
the script as a MIME attachment.
Unfortunately I didn't try any of this on B19 (just B19.1), and I've now
deleted all traces of B19.1 from my system (I was paranoid I wouldn't be
able to get B18 working again).
