Bug Description

I upgraded first to 2.1.6a from 2.1.5 -> chinese (gb2312)
lists stopped working. Then I upgraded python from 2.3.4
to 2.4 and that problem disappeared. But now I'll get
crashes like this:

Currently, Chinese (both China and Taiwan) are not
supported. I am curious how you manage gb2312 list. And
also, what language message caused this error? There may be
incomplete translations and may cause such error.
Particularly, big5 (zh_TW) may contain '%' in the second
byte of a 16bit character and may cause trouble.

This type of crash doesn't come from chinese lists. I suspect that
Subject line =E4 which is ä ( a umlaut) is cause of this crash.

I can send you privately a bunch of problematic qfiles/shunts if
those help more than my poor guesses.

I found a bug in Finlandic translation catalog. This will be
fixed before final release of 2.1.6.
