Account creation in patchwork was broken a long time ago and some unrelated bug had caused a ugly junk in the listings of patches that contain non-ASCII characters. I've fixed both along with upgrading patchwork to the latest and greatest version. What this mean: - the junk names displayed in the listings is gone - you can create new patchwork accounts and use those accounts for example to administrate your own patches, for example when submitting a new version or when you discover a bug and want to withdraw a patch. The upgrade went more than rough and involved lots of manual database patching. If something doesn't work right, please let me know. Happy patchworking! Ralf
