Bug description

Just update to 3.12.0 and, on MAC OS 10.6.8 the accented characters are no longer usable:

$ ocaml
Objective Caml version 3.12.0

let carr?? x = x*x;;

Error: Illegal character (?)

The ?? was é

And under emacs:

Characters 9-10:

let carré n = n * n;;
^
Error: Illegal character (\251)
