Ok, I think I’ve made some progress in getting this solved, but I need some 
testers who run setups that use these characters to confirm.  I’ve posted a 
test version at:

        
http://www.rivendellaudio.org/ftpdocs/rivendell/tests/rivendell-2.8.1utf00.tar.gz

that should properly handle multi-byte UTF-8 characters (e.g. ‘ç', ‘é', or 
‘ã’).  It uses DB schema 234 and so should play nice with databases working 
under stock 2.8.x.

Any takers?

Cheers!
