	I have the exact same problem you do. If you look at the 
mailing list archive, subjects like:

	* occasional "Unsupported conversion" error in autohandler
	* autohandler:40 error

will describe the same problem as well.

	As far as I understand there are issues with perl-5.6.x (this is 
the version stocked with redhat-7.3) and utf-8, and since RT uses utf-8 
internally we're stucked.

	Either we upgrade perl (which I hope it solve the problem) or we 
live with the error which until now doesn't seem to damage anything 
(but probably do)...


	I couldn't see any report saying the problem is *indeed* solved by 
upgrading perl... Can anyone of you who have experienced this, say 
something please?

	Regards,
