Thanks for catching these problems. Two proposed patches are attached. The first fixes the problems by going back to ASCII. The second puts in a check for this problem, so that non-ASCII bytes like that don't slip into future releases. At some point we may well want to add non-ASCII characters, but they should be UTF-8 I expect. I've pushed these proposed patches into the unofficial experimental repository at github.

FWIW, as a Spanish speaker (and possibly the author of the mail messages in Spanish which got converted into Latin-1 encoded comments) I vow for UTF-8 encoding rather than mutilation. -- Mariano Absatz - El Baby www.clueless.com.ar
