Re: [mdb-dev] UTF-8 support

[Jeff S. <why...@ya...>]

If I am not mistaken, Brian already has some code for this (not that he
would not be able to use any of your work), but has not checked it in
due to some design decisions.  See message "Re: [mdb-dev] Old code" from
July 17th.  I assume you are subscribed to the list.

As for bug 669739, do you have test case to confirm this bug (in the latest
pre-release)?  A lot has changed in the code since the bug was reported and
it may be a dead issue.
