I think this message from ruby-talk covers the same problem:

    http://www.ruby-talk.org/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/135408

The string is being converted to your local 8-bit character set =20
(probably MacRoman) and that fails. RubyCocoa CVS fixes this by using =20=

UTF-8 throughout.

Hope that makes sense
