[Reportbug-maint] Bug#531911: Patch for this bug

thanks

Hi,

It seem this bug is related to the Python decode() function which seems
to behave weirdly given the default shell size (with other shell sizes,
the display is ok, no exception is raised). Using "replace" mode for
this function allows the character beeing replaced by the "?" character
in order to go on with the bug list display. That's the way reportbug
already deals with the sister function encode().

Bye,
Carl Chenet
