 I have commited a change to the subversion repository. The message
 contains an umlaut ''ä'' and added a note to an existing ticket - using
 the ref directive.

 Now I'm not able to view the ticket - see Traceback below:

 I'm using Trac 0.9, Subversion 1.2.3 together with an Apache 2.0.54 on a
 Windows System.

 Thanks in advance

 Horst

 PS: Any suggestions for a workaround are also welcome
