Right, it would be interesting to know what version of OpenSRF you're
running Evergreen 1.6.0.6 on. OpenSRF 1.2.something I bet, as that is
where I did the bulk of the Unicode testing several years ago.

Okay, that's interesting and good to know.

Yes, I understood that.

Well, OpenSRF 2.0 hasn't been released yet, but what I was saying in my
last message that when it is released (due to a bug fix that I committed
earlier), you should be able to install OpenSRF 2.0 and then install
Evergreen 2.0 on top of that and get some relief from your patron
issues.
