Malformed UTF-8 character error

Hello,

I am currently trying to correct a problem with accented characters
(iso-8859-1) that display
garbled received emails and also in tickets created with the web
interface and I found this in the
our rt3-3.0.7 Apache (apache+mod_ssl-1.3.29+2.8.16) server httpd-error.log:

[Fri Dec 5 09:01:46 2003] [error] [client 200.17.63.71] FastCGI: server
"/usr/local/rt3/bin/mason_handler.fcgi" stderr: Malformed UTF-8
character (unexpected non-continuation byte 0x73, immediately after
start byte 0xf3) in substitution iterator at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/Devel/StackTrace.pm line 290.

Has anyone seen errors like these?

TIA,
