Hi Mark,

I think you're spot on. Reason seams to be in different locale/encoding 
handling on different operating systems. Strange though that I never ran in to 
this problem all the years before. Well, I guess I'll move this replication 
slave to a Linux VM.

I can't re-index anything because a replication slave in this setup is readonly.
