Redmine

If I have an issue (created in 1.3.0) with the UK pound sign in (I'm deliberately not including it in this issue in case the issue is unreadable), opening that issue results in a 500 error and the error dump at the bottom of this page.

The only way that I've been able to recover from this and access my issues was to use phpmyadmin to remove the £ sign manually. I then tested creating a new issue with 1.4.0 and including that symbol and got the 500 error again.

This worked on 1.3.0, but fails on 1.4.0. If I add a pound sign into the comments section, there is no problem.

Error log:
