 The used standard "substr" function is not multi-byte safe.
 
 So I suggest to post this as a bug report.
 Either we use one of those mb_* functions
 http://at2.php.net/manual/en/function.mb-substr.php
 which requires PHP built with --enable-mbstring
 or one of the several available selfmade solutions like
 http://at2.php.net/manual/en/function.substr.php#53200
