[gentoo-alt] portage unicode problem

[Markus Duft]

Hey all :)

I'm currently experiencing minor turbulences with my windows xp VM
(Interix 3.5; none of the other interix versions are affected).
occasionally i'm getting this:

i have no idea what triggers this, but it must be related to the recent
unicode changes in portage i believe.

anybody else seeing this?
