Gus,

This happened to us last year as well. I'll give you a
call later on today to talk it over with you - have to
dash to a meeting right now. If you prefer IM, I can
do that to.

The short answer is that there was a problem with the
character set that was identified as the default in
the underlying database. 

Best,
Samantha
