Synopsis: Command line compiler displays "EINVAL error" for class with VEEN error

Description

Compiling a class with a VEEN error causes the command line compiler to
report:

Error code: VEEN
Error: unknown identifier.
What to do: make sure that identifier, if needed, is final name of
  feature of class, or local entity or formal argument of routine.
EINVAL error. Input conversion stopped due to an incomplete character or shift sequence at the end of the input buffer.: Invalid argument

Looks like a bug to me.

To Reproduce

Compile with attached class and .ecf file, using command line compiler.

I was able to reproduce this. It seems to me like an internationalization issue. It only happens on Solaris Sparc, it works fine on x86.
