Error message while creating report

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Run Namebench
press "Start benchmark"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
While creating the report I see only a error message with the following entries 
(copied from the logfile). No report is then created
---------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):

ordinal not in range(128)

---------------------------------------

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest Version 1.3.1 Windows 7 32bit German
I got the same error with Version 1.3 of namebench. Namebench 1.2 is running 
fine without this problem.

Please provide any additional information below.
Thanks for a great tool!

It has almost been a year and yet they haven't fixed the issue. Talk about lazy 
workers.

If you get the same error just replace both adress in the nameserver line with 
your actually used dns server adress(if unknown use your routers ip only) or 
delete at least the empty one(0.0.0.0). Then it should work. You have to do it 
every time you start the programm. Viel Glück!
