[CWB] CQP encoding problem

Dear CWB developers and specialists,

I've been trying to use CQP 3.2.5 in Windows for querying a Russian
corpus saved in utf-8, but it crashes every time I enter unicode
symbols as a query. I could find some information on this in FAQ:
http://cwb.sourceforge.net/faq.php?hoist=windows_terminal#windows_terminal

"Input of accented characters in UTF-8 doesn't seem to work
(regardless of codepage setting), and such queries may crash CQP."
Does it mean that it's impossible to use utf-8 symbols for querying the corpus?

Thank you in advance,
