When not using this chunk, every translated string with arguments does not
display correctly. Normal UTF-8 chars are "prefixed" by other UTF-8 chars. The
HTML source therefor contains 4 bytes for each international char.
Those problems occur for example in the "Connected as ..." header string and in
the "#<ticket number>: <ticket subject>" string (Display.html).

This chunk was "necessary" after applying the first one, so it appears this is a
side effect.

Allright, let's ignore this one.
Do you think the LANG environment variable has something to do with these problems ?
