Bug: Cluster synchronisation of files containing ISO-8859 unescaped characters
Cluster synchronisation transaction files were written in UTF-8, but
{\tt ClusterSync.pl} failed to open them in this mode. This caused
file names which contained ISO-8859 characters above the 7 bit ASCII
range which we do not escape to be misinterpreted when the transaction
was read, resulting in a signature verification failure for the
transaction. I added a ``{\tt :utf8}'' specification to the open of
the transaction file so it will be read correctly. I also set
{\tt STDOUT} to UTF-8 mode so that error messages are printed in
that mode. The log file remains in ISO-8859 mode, as that will
handle all characters which we do not escape.
