Looking at the mbox, there was only one place where \xea was in the
header, in a Subject line, using `grep --color='auto' -P -n "\xea"`. I
manually edited the mbox (making a copy first) and remove the accented-e
character with an ASCII "e", and I'm still getting the error (I did this
before e-mail the list). There are other places which have \xea, but not
in any headers.
The 214 is the message count from a state file. Every time I rerun the
command the number is higher, but it seems to die in the same place. In
the middle of the output we have a "UnicodeWarning":

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xea in position 3:

It gets to 2005-September, creates the index files, enumerates 22
articles, pickles the archive state, and then dies. The 23rd (and later)
message/s don't appear to have non-ASCII.
Can I patched pipermail.py or HyperDatabase.py (or ???) in some way to
work around this? I have LANG=en_US.UTF-8 and LC_TIME=en_DK.UTF8 in my
shell environment: does that make a difference?
This used to work just fine, so I'm wonder what happened with the OS
upgrade. I should have a copy of the VM pre-upgrade in case that's
helpful.
Thanks for the help.
