notebook chokes horribly on Umlautes

[malb]

I have worksheet with the word "Gröbner" in it which prevents me from using the notebook at all because the listing of worksheets crashes.

        Traceback (most recent call last):

Before umlauts where displayed wrong but at least they didn't crash the server.

patch looks good, fixes the crashing for me, and is doctested. Positive review.

[13:09] <mabshoff> Someone needs to make sure we can still clone the repo with that patch since last time we had Nicola's name spelled correctly in a patch we had issues like that.

I did not do the above. mabshoff, if you feel it's needed, can you check it before you merge?

I tested cloning on sage.math and it works there. I will only merge trac_5176.2.patch.

Jason: when you review tickets with multiple patches please make clear which patches need to be applied. In this case it was obvious once I looked at both patches.

Cheers,

Michael

Merged trac_5176.2.patch only in Sage 3.3.alpha6.
