I get the same error with
Operating system: Windows 7 64 bit version 6.1.7601
Python 3.2.2
docutils-0.8.1

I have just installed *docutils* and am beginning to practise
with it. In my first tries (launching the order
*c:\Python32\python tools\buildhtml.py* from the Windows
terminal as directed in
*Docutils front-end tools/The tools/HTML generating tools/
buildhtml.py* with the current directory being
*d:\documentación\Python modules\docutils\docutils-0.8.1*)
I have experienced several times this same problem.

The difficulty affected to the following files:

	docutils-0.8.1 / HISTORY.txt
	... / docs / dev / policies.txt
	... / docs / dev / todo.txt
	... / test / functional / input / cyrillic.txt
	... / test / functional / input / standalone_rst_xetex.txt
	... / test / functional / input / data / unicode.txt

The reported problem was always the same:
some unicode codepoint was not duly recognized;
this is for instance the detailed information about the first one: 

    ::: Processing: HISTORY.txt
<docutils.error_reporting.ErrorOutput object at 0x030496D0>
    UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode
byte 0x90 in position 8760: character maps to <undefined>
    
The problematic code points were:

    0x90, 0x9d, 0x9d, 0x81, 0x81, 0x9d respectively.

Kind regards
