Problem with string encoding (no replies)

When I use connector/C++ to retrieve a string with non-ascii characters, I get wrong results. Using libmysqlclient, I get the expected string.
My client and SQL server both run on the same system (Ubuntu 11.10 with mysql 1.5.62-0 and libmysqlcppconn-dev 1.1.0-3).

The output of the connector program is:
Fétis, François-Joseph
The output of the mysqlclient program is:
Fétis, François-Joseph
(It might be that this forum garbles this output, but the second is correct).

Below are the programs used to generate the output. If someone could point out what I could do to get the right result, I would be grateful.

// cppconntst.cpp
#include "mysql_driver.h"
#include "cppconn/prepared_statement.h"
#include "cppconn/sqlstring.h"
#include <memory>
#include <stdio.h>

using std::unique_ptr;

int main()
{
char pw[31];
FILE *myp = fopen("myp","r");
if (fscanf(myp,"%30s",pw) !=1)
return 1;
fclose(myp);
sql::Driver *driver = get_driver_instance();
unique_ptr<sql::Connection> conn(driver->connect("localhost","geert",pw));
conn->setClientOption("characterSetResults","UTF8");
conn->setSchema("orpheus");
unique_ptr<sql::Statement> stmt(conn->createStatement());
stmt->execute("SET NAMES 'utf8'");
unique_ptr<sql::PreparedStatement> mdata(conn->prepareStatement(
"SELECT Creator FROM ORPtunes WHERE TuneID=? "));
sql::SQLString creator;
mdata->setInt(1, 4644);
unique_ptr<sql::ResultSet> res(mdata->executeQuery());
if (res->next()) {
creator=res->getString(1);
printf("%s\n", creator.c_str());
}
}
