There was a previous discussion about this re logs that mixed the
shift-JIS and UTF-8 encodings on a Japanese language machine. It came up
under "BUG #5661: The character encoding in logfile is confusing". I've
CC'd the reporter of that bug in on this discussion, as it appears to be
pertinent.
Tom didn't seem to like any of the options I raised as possible
solutions to the mixed encoding issue, and the discussion petered out
with things being left at the (IMO broken) status quo.
