Yes it is very much related, but the investigationj I've done shows that 
the restriction applies only to 8-bit Unicode characters, Western 
European accented characters (all vowels with acute, grave, 
diaeresis/Umlaut, tilde, circumflex, æ, ø, ß, þ, ð, ñ, ç
plus their uppercase versions will work.  Anything with a Unicode value 
greater than x0FF will cause gs to barf.

So a Czech chacha (čača) in the filename will definitely kill the gs 
back-end stone dead.

Cheers,
Ian
