I've had an accented character in a track title crash Slimserver a while
back when using 6.1 nightlies
(http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1709) and the points I
noticed were:

- the crash happened when playing the track on a SB1 but not a SB2
- I had ripped the track using iTunes. The offending character was an e
acute however if I manually replaced this with an e, or manually
replaced it with an e acute using the Mac keyboard, then the crash
didn't happen.
- I had other tracks with an e acute and other accented characters that
didn't crash

I know very little about this subject, but can only surmise that maybe
iTunes downloaded tag data where an e acute was encoded in a particular
form that the Mac could display OK, but a SB1 couldn't handle.  That
would imply that the encoding of an e acute for that particular track
in CDDB or where ever iTunes gets its info from was different from the
encoding if you enter that character directly using the Mac keyboard.

Rather than replace the accented character with an unaccented one, you
could try to replace accented character with the same character using
whatever the keyboard command is for the accented character.
