Hi,

I was trying to report a bug against munin-node, when:

I'm using testing (squeeze), kernel 2.6.32-5-686, python 2.6.6-3+squeeze1 and
python-reportbug 4.12.6. My default locale is fr_FR.utf8.

I first thought the problem was due to non-ascii character in my user name, so I
tried to remove the accented characters from my name in ~/.reportbugrc, but to
no avail.


Thanks in advance,
Manuel.
