Description Vincent Danen 2012-06-08 12:22:15 EDT

It was found that when Cumin was asked to display a link name that contained non-ASCII characters, it would exit with an error and not display the content of the page with the link in it.  Due to incomplete support for Unicode, if an administrator were to add data to the database (via Cumin or Wallaby, among others) that contained non-ASCII characters, subsequent requests to load data containing these characters would result in unexpected termination of the Cumin request, and the requested page would not be displayed.
