unicode problem crashes installer when selecting self-partitioning

[Lukas Hänel]

I was trying to install kubuntu on my machine(having allready a german windows xp and debian installed). I first bootet ubuntu from CD and than started the install-link at the desktop. I chose german language and when it comes to choose the disk I chose self-partitioning and when I press next, it crashes.
Also with english language chosen. Maybe those are my ntfs-volumes using german charset. It does not crash if I choose drive 1 and than self-partitioning.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 112, in ?
    install(sys.argv[1])
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 52, in install
    ret = wizard.run()

Thanks for your report. This is also bug 43125, and is fixed in the Dapper release candidate.
