This seems as the same thing that I reported on 2010-04-25 23:35:49Z, <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/145774>. If there's a character above U+007F in the log message below line #2, the Subject: line is garbled. In this case it is, it's the "ö" in Uwe's name that leads to this error.

A test to reproduce this is at <https://gist.github.com/378785>, but it seems as this was fixed between v1.7.4.1-292-ge2a57aa and v1.7.4.1-343-ga91df69 , probably happened in dc7f96f (Merge branch 'jk/format-patch-multiline-header'). The patch at <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/172479/raw> was generated with git-1.7.3, so it would trigger the error in this case.

Regards, Øyvind
