Title:
  The registration link can fail if a user's name contains a diacritic

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Please note this only seems to effect PHP running on Windows, not
  Ubuntu.

  In the following configuration:
  Windows Server 2008 R2
  IIS 7
  Postgresql 9.1.4
  PHP 5.3.13
  Mahara 1.5.1

  The registration link ("Hi Chéese, Thank you for registering an
  account on Mahara. Please follow this link to complete the signup
  process: ...") won't work if the user has a diacritic in their name.

  Clicking the link results in "A nonrecoverable error occured. This
  probably means you have encountered a bug in the system"

  The email address confirmation message ("Hi Chéese, Thank you for
  registering an account on Mahara. Please select the following link to
  confirm your email address. The ...") and the message sent to the
  administrator to approve the registration work perfectly.

  Attached is a relevant snippet from the PHP error log.
