inserting letters with acute accents as password makes the server crash

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Click "Register a new account".
2. Type a user-name.
3. Type a password containing letters with acute accents.
    example: "á", "áéíóú"
4. Click "Register".

or

5. Type a user-name.
6. Type a password like one of the above.
7. Click "Sign In"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected an alert saying that you can't use those characters (when I first 
registered the password), or that I can sign in successfully to my 
newly-created account.

What I see is
HTTP ERROR: 500

Problem accessing /auth/register. Reason:

    !utf8

What changeset or version are you using? On what operating system?
changeset - 766:88951b7f1ff1
Archlinux 64bit.

Oh, jaosorior, if you would like to fix it please do! I can't assign the issue 
to you due to a technical limitation of this tracker, but go for it!
