Ouch, sorry for the trouble Bastien.  Olav has reverted the offending patch.

I'm curious to know what the data was that caused the error (i.e. the value of
fullname), so I can work out how best to improve the code.  We've not run into
any troubles with this on fedora's boxes (yet).

If I had to guess, perhaps the username contains non-ascii data that is encoded
in iso-8859-1 (or -15) rather than in utf-8.  Not being a gnome-sysadmin, I've
got no access to check that theory.  I'm still not sure how such data would not
barf in the Header.Header() call, instead making it to line 124 in
generate_header() before croaking though.
