 Replying to [ticket:2551 dr]:

 "d:\шейп\".

 No crash reproducable here.  QGIS refuses to add files in cyrillic
 directories on Windows, because {{{OGROpen}}} fails on them.  This is a
 known GDAL/OGR problem: [[http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/rfc5_unicode
 rfc5_unicode]].

 I suppose this should be fixed in OGR.  See also the thread
 [[http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-developer/2010-May/009962.html
 adding encoding file]] on the developer's mailing list.
