Bug Description

I've seen a lot of OOPSes like OOPS-1524C2025 and OOPS-1524M443 in lpnet. It seems the user is trying to login to file a bug but if the title contains non-ascii chars, it oopses.

  UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\\xf3' in position 242: ordinal not in range(128)

After a quick chat with intellectronica and allenap on irc, they agreed with the following:
< intellectronica > Ursinha: i don't know what's the deal with that oops, and i don't want to push it back, but it looks like an
                             authentication bug, rather than a bugs bug
< allenap > Ursinha: Just read the scrollback. I'm at the same conclusion as intellectronica re. the OOPS from earlier.
