Ferret talk - Jun 2007 - Warning encoding error after Ferret changesets 765-769

Hello all,

I recently upgraded from the Ferret gem 0.11.4 to the Subversion trunk, 
changeset #770.  I did this because I needed the large file patch from 
http://ferret.davebalmain.com/trac/ticket/215

When adding documents to the index, I get the following message printed 
to STDERR many times:

     Warning encoding error. Please check that you are using the correct
     locale for your input

Google found me this: http://ferret.davebalmain.com/trac/changeset/768
This appears to be part of a series of changes starting at #765 and 
ending at #769.

#769 has the message "Reverted fix for OpenSolaris as it was affecting 
other operating systems. New fix in place."  But apparently not 
everything was reverted.

This does not seem to affect indexing or retrieval, just the warning 
message.  Has anyone else experienced this?  I''ll file a ticket if I
can
get confirmation.

This is on Ubuntu Feisty, Linux 2.6.20, i686, Ruby version 1.8.5.
