The system is not capable of handling some non-ascii
characters. You are also using a fairly old version (v11) --
in the meantime we've applied a few fixes related to working
around unicode support being spotty on some platforms.

The above actually is a known, reported bug in the Python
logging library which I don't know how to work around and
which masks the actual problem.
