[erlang-bugs] Unicode bug in io:format

Thanks, I'm aware of it. The problem is different behavior with and without
-noinput. I'm just curious which case is right and why it makes difference
at all. I explicitly define that binary string as utf8-encoded but it
only works with -noinput and fails without it. On the other hand, a list
without any unicode letters at all (only integers) printed as hex values
with -noinput and as test without it. It may be understandable if this is
some kind of parser problem which wants latin-1 letters in source but
what's wrong with plain list of integers which it fails to output as a
string? The problem is that those two cases are mutually exclusive so one
of them works with -noinput and fails without and vice versa. So I'm
curious which method I should use so it works like expected.
