D - bug: utferror & std.zip & std.file

It seems to me that std.zip.ArchiveMember.name should be dchar[] or wchar[]
instead of the current char[]. Ditto for the arguments of the functions in
std.file. This code:

import std.zip;
import std.file;
import std.c.stdio;

void main(char [][] args) {
        try {
                void [] contents = read(args[1]);
                ZipArchive za = new ZipArchive(contents);
                foreach (ArchiveMember am; za.directory)
                    write(am.name, za.expand(am));
        } catch (Object o)
                printf("%.*s: %.*s\n",o.classinfo.name,o.toString());
}

Outputs: "UtfError: s" when args[1]="aņo.zip", where "aņo.zip" is the
attached file and contains the file "aņo.txt". Tested on WinXP and 98, dmd
0.81.
BTW, what's kind of error is "s"? If I remove the try...catch, the message
is "Error: s".

There's a bug in std.utf. I've already reported it 
(http://www.digitalmars.com/drn-bin/wwwnews?D/21523), but I guess it 
never showed up on Walter's bug radar. I just checked and the bug is 
still present with DMD 0.81.

Here's a review:
--------------------
I got an error using std.utf and error message says:
Error: s

That didn't seem very specific or helpful, so I looked at std.utf and
found a minor bug.

*Line 21 should be:*
super(s);


class UtfError : Error
{
      uint idx;	// index in string of where error occurred

      this(char[] s, uint i)
      {
	idx = i;
	super("s");  /* should be super(s); */
      }
}
