Comment (by annakrat):

 When creating a mapset with non ascii characters from GUI menu - Create
 new mapset, I am getting error:

 {{{
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/home/anna/dev/grass/trunk1/dist.x86_64-unknown-
 linux-gnu/gui/wxpython/lmgr/frame.py", line 950, in
 OnCreateMapset

 mapset = mapset)

   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/encodings/utf_8.py", line 16, in
 decode

 return codecs.utf_8_decode(input, errors, True)
 UnicodeDecodeError

 }}}

 The patch is probably trying to prevent from doing it.
