My guess: you are running a German Windows version, which will give
you a German error message, with non-ASCII characters, when the
connection fails. This error message is encoded in the latin-1
('western european') encoding, and decoding it as plain ascii fails.
Feel free to substitute German for French, Spanish or any other
language that might have non-ascii error messages.
We should probably decode it using the current console encoding, but
it's not really clear to me what the pitfalls would be.
