Thanks for the suggestion, but that is actually what I did. "a" and "b" output normally as "1" and "12". But any accented character gets the very long dot output. Exact steps: 1. run lou_allround 2. choose "Cz-Cz-g1.utb" table with "t" command 3. use "m" command and answer "yynyyy" (including yes for dots IO) 4. press "r" to enter the loop 5. input "í" Result: as in previous email I sent, very many dots (approx. 20) Tested on Debian Squeeze with system en_US.UTF-8 locale.
