7388	Segfault when passing UTF8 character on VBoxManage controlvm option => Fixed in SVN	Macedo		"Minor argument parsing issue.

While executing some operations on a stopped VM with my keyboard set to PT-BR on an Ubuntu host (generating dual-byte special characters), VBoxManage returned a segfault when receiving an option which was wrongly written with such character. 

Attached are:

- The VBoxManage core file

- A text/shell file with the garbled option.

I did not try to reproduce the event with other options than the used on the sample provided.

It's not a show stopper but I hope this information can help VB team to improve the argument parsing to avoid something worst on another place.
