Yes, that's an encoding problem. It's caused by the way your
terminal is setup, plus the encoding that the package is writing
its output, plus the way that Smart tries to figure out what's
your encoding.

This problem has been following Smart for a while, and we're
quite close to get rid of it defintely. I'm hoping to achieve
that in Smart 0.42.
