+When rendering an rst page with utf-8 characters in (specifically "£"), ikiwiki seems to hang.
+
+Killing with Control-C gives the following traceback:
+
+ Traceback (most recent call last):
+ File "/usr/lib/ikiwiki/plugins/rst", line 97, in ?
+ handler.handle_request()
+ File "/usr/lib/ikiwiki/plugins/rst", line 74, in handle_request
+ ret = rpc_read(processor)
+ File "/usr/lib/ikiwiki/plugins/rst", line 42, in rpc_read
+ line = sys.stdin.readline()
+ KeyboardInterrupt
+
+rst2html on the same file has no problem rendering the file as expected.
> See [[debbug 447267]] for a patch for this.

+bump! I would like to see some form of this functionality included in ikiwiki. I use a patched version, but
+its a bit of a PITA to constantly apply it (and to forget sometimes!). I know that security concern is important to consider,
+but I use ikiwiki with a very small group of people collaborating so svn/web access is under control
+and htaccess is for limiting access to some areas of wiki.
+It should be off by default of course. --Max
