Public bug reported:
Ubuntu Studio Controls crashed due to a character out of range.
Further investigation showed that line 221 of /etc/login.defs had a comment:
# If set to yes, userdel will remove the user\u00B4s group if it
contains no
Changing it to:
# If set to yes, userdel will remove the user's group if it contains no
fixed the problem.
