[Server-devel] XS Server support for Chinese XOs

[Martin Langhoff]

Hi T.K.Kang,

I am CC'ing the server-devel list. Please make sure you CC the list in
your replies. Please do subscribe to the list too. We are having the
same discussion about Nepali characters in the list -- you'll miss out
if you're not on the list :-)

Good...

Hmmm. Can you send me a sample datastore, in a tar.gz file?

Tested, and cannot reproduce the problem. User accounts with a space
in their names were created correctly in the server, access to backups
was normal.

That should not be needed. The bug is probably somewhere else, let's
diagnose it so I can fix it :-)

There are several DBs involved :-/ -- at this stage I'd recommend a reinstall.
