Perhaps they should upgrade/fix their server:

Server: CERN/2.16beta

*sigh*

Which of course brings me to my question... how/why does this fix
anything?

>From the source:

  } else {
    kdWarning(7103) << "Unknown encoding encountered.  Please write code. Pid  = " << getpid() << " Encoding = \"" << encoding << "\"" << endl;
  }

This *seems* fine... but if it triggers a crash, perhaps something else
needs to be fixed?
