I used some of my google-fu and found something that might fix this and the problem with extended characters in a username. I don't have a good way to test it on my system, but it at least didn't break anything. For folks with these problems, please download and try this branch:

I created a new user on my system with user name Øystein, then testet both v 1.41 and 1.4.2.2, it didn't change anything. As far as i can see from the log, the char set is not using a extended ascii table, only the first 128 chars. Where ex. Ø = 216.

v1.4.2.2 log:
