On Solaris 2.6 with ja_JP.PCK locale,
Java interpreter can't get Shift-JIS encoding characters correctly as command line arguments.

Please try these steps.
 1)Login Solaris 2.6 with ja_JP.PCK locale.
 2)Compile following program.
 3)Execute below in command line.
%java ArgsTest A 65
%java ArgsTest ����� 12354
%java ArgsTest ��l 20154
%java ArgsTest ���N 19985

Only "A" is got correctly.
Other characters(Shift-JIS) are changed.
