Yes. There was a line in the NT_CREATE_ANDX encoder that assumed the path
was encoded in a non-variable width encoding. Apparently Big5 is a variable
width encoding and the filename you were using had some characters that
encoded as variable length.

Yes. The fix is solid.

Yes. I will release the same code as 1.1.6 (with some other very minor
changes that are in the queue).

The System property file.encoding is used to encode path names. I believe we
determined that that was already set to Big5. So you do not need to set the
encoding. Try it.
