That is the same bug as issue #4.  I'll have this fixed in the next release 
(coming
soon!)

I have checked out trunk some hours ago and the issue was not fixed yet, why is 
it
closed? :-)
Please, don't close issues with status=Fixed unless fix is commited.

That is my mistake.  If you are still experiencing a problem with the latest
repository, then this should be open.  I thought that it had been fixed with 
the fix
for issue #2

I've checked in a change which fixes this issue.  I've tested it on some 
non-ASCII
tags from within LiveJournal.  If any non-ASCII UTF-8 was in a tag, this error 
would
occur.

Please mark as verified if this fix works for you, mathemonkey
