CharToOemBuff in fhandler_console.cc

On my system (Win2K), the call to CharToOemBuff in
fhandler_console::write_normal in the CVS sources is changing graphic
characters such as the solid block ('\333') into other incorrect characters
such as a capital U.
Changing WriteFile to use 'src' rather than 'buf' in that function corrects
the problem.
The short example program below should output four solid blocks, but it
doesn't; instead, it outputs a block, a 'U', a block, and another 'U'. Is
anyone else seeing this behavior? What is the reason behind the call to
CharToOemBuff? Can/should it be removed safely for all systems? Do I have
something set up incorrectly that is causing the OEM translation to be
wrong?
