Thanks for the cookie cutter directions. I repro'd the bug with the
stock lshw on my test hw, then downloaded the lshw using the svn string
you provided, built the code, and then ran:

 sudo ./src/lshw

Exactly the same corruption occurred on the screen.

But I can confirm that with the svn version the lastmountpoint parameter
does not show non-ascii characters, as the stock lucid version does.
