I'm just getting "bad title" errors here. Assuming it's been resolved in the meantime?

Still getting it on a test machine, on a r36177 checkout but with a rather old PHP 5.1.2 (on Ubuntu 6.06.2 LTS). Tried it on a different box, running MediaWiki stable 1.12.0 and PHP 5.2.0 (this was Debian 4.0), and got the same error - "Notice: iconv() : Detected an illegal character in input string in languages/Language.php on line 1227" (or line 1229 on the SVN checkout). [note had to add "error_reporting( E_ALL );" to LocalSettings.php, and I was using the 1-0-7.curl.sh test]

However, the above are both non-recent versions of PHP - so it's entirely possible that it's a PHP issue. Let's leave this as closed and when I update the Ubuntu box to 8.04 LTS (which I plan to do at the start of August, after the first LTS point release has been made), then I can do a quick check then with a more modern setup - and if it's still happening then will reopen.
