[erlang-bugs] Encoding of IO devices when there is -noshell

[José Valim]

Hello OTP team,

I am using Erlang 17.0 and I have noticed that, if -noshell is given, the
encoding for IO devices are kept as latin:

    $ erl -eval 'io:format("~p", [io:getopts()]).'
    [{expand_fun,#Fun<group.0.100149429>},
     {echo,true},
     {binary,false},
     {encoding,latin1}]

Setting the +fnu flag doesn't change the behaviour:

    $ erl +fnu -eval 'io:format("~p", [io:getopts()]).'
    [{expand_fun,#Fun<group.0.100149429>},
     {echo,true},
     {binary,false},
     {encoding,latin1}]

I am pretty sure this behaviour is present in R16, but given the new
direction taken in 17.0, I am not sure this is an actual bug or not.

I am using Mac OS X Mountain Lion but this bug was also peer verified on
Linux.

Thank you!
