[KinoSearch] Unicode problem

There seems to be a problem with KinoSearch’s Unicode support. Greek  
words can be listed in the index, but they always have a doc_freq of  
0. The attached script demonstrates this problem. This is the output  
it gives me:

Greek occurs in 1 document.
Hmm occurs in 1 document.
as occurs in 1 document.
in occurs in 1 document.
interesting occurs in 1 document.
or occurs in 1 document.
say occurs in 1 document.
they occurs in 1 document.
ἐνδιαφέρον occurs in 0 documents.

It didn’t give me any wide char warnings, so I looked into it further  
and found that ‘ἐνδιαφέρον’ came out encoded as UTF-8  
("\341 
\274 
\220 
\316 
\275 
\316 
\264\316\271\316\261\317\206\341\275\263\317\201\316\277\316\275"), so  
maybe that’s part of the problem.
