</div>I think this is another instance of #629, and is occurring because your<br>
version of sqlite is more picky about 8bit strings than mine was. I've<br>
updated the ticket with some potential directions.. I suspect this one<br>
should be pretty shallow, but I'll need to look more closely at sqlite<br>
to be sure.<br>
