Bug #: 36839
Summary: Problem with non-ASCII characters and long requests

A few days ago, it was working correctly.
API seems to have trouble with page titles with non-ASCII characters when the
size of the API request is very long.
For example, a query request for templates (prop=templates) returns incorrect
results for page titles with non-ASCII characters, when the list of pages
(argument "titles=") contains several dozen pages : the API answer returns
incorrect page names when there are non-ASCII characters (é instead of é, ...)
and incorrect information (it doesn't use the correct page title).
But if the same request is made with a smaller list of pages, the API answer
becomes correct again.
