Subject: Charset problem with special characters

Hello,

I compile john-1.7.5 with the jumbo-patch-3, and I'm trying to crack LM
or NTLM hashes with special characters like ñ or ç. Spanish uses these
characters a lot.
But when I try to use a dictionary or make-charset using a spanish
dictionary, john doesn't look up the passwords with these characters.

For example:
portal:10561:F27D23D3E93C31DC364B0DFC3955A01C:305A42A96D4DF77C1F0434F63A28239A:::

The password is "contraseña" (without quotes)

If I create a UTF-8, ISO8859-1 or ISO8859-15 with these content word :
contraseña, john doesn't find the password.

I don't know if it's a problem. What can I do to solve the problem?

These is an example:

$ file ../../portal.pwdump
../../portal.pwdump: ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators
$ cat ../../portal.pwdump 
portal:10561:F27D23D3E93C31DC364B0DFC3955A01C:305A42A96D4DF77C1F0434F63A28239A:::

$ file dict-iso8859-1 dict-iso8859-15 dict-UTF8
dict-iso8859-1:  ISO-8859 text
dict-iso8859-15: ISO-8859 text
dict-UTF8:       UTF-8 Unicode text
$ cat dict-iso8859-1
contrase�a
CONTRAS

$ cat dict-iso8859-15
