Comment 2 Morten Welinder 2010-02-02 15:53:30 UTC 
There are non-ASCII names in there.  A rough count suggests that we get
one warning per non-ASCII name.
Comment 3 Ildar 2010-02-03 05:54:46 UTC 
So it's nothing serious, right? Ok.
Comment 4 Morten Welinder 2013-04-14 17:06:15 UTC 
This problem has been fixed in our software repository. The fix will go into the next software release. Thank you for your bug report.
