Small bug in dropdb in PostgreSQL 7.0 beta 1

PostgreSQL 7.0 beta 1 , Linux RedHat 6.1 i386 

I have created a database called "contabil".
I opened it with PgAccess , forgot about it and in another terminal I
tried to :

$ dropdb contabil

I got the error :

[postgres@bin]$ ./dropdb contabil
ERROR:  DROP DATABASE: Database "t~?-¨°ÁÉ" is being accessed by other
users.
ERROR:  DROP DATABASE: Database "t~?-¨°ÁÉ" is being accessed by other
users.
dropdb: database removal failed 

It's normal to deny the database removal, but the database name isn't
right. Might be a small bug in dropdb!
