Comment 1 Luke Macken 2012-09-20 17:20:18 UTC 
After working around the Unicode issue, the core exception that triggered it was the NoDisksError from Bug #849112
Comment 2 Chris Lumens 2012-09-20 20:16:24 UTC 
I think the utf8 business is handled in python-meh already, but reassigning to double check.

This should be handled by the
>fd.write(self.exnText.encode("utf-8"))
line that appears in the traceback, so there is something wrong. Reopening bug #854959 and marking this bug as duplicate.
