Comment(by stuartm):

 My concern is that we have obviously pulled the recgroup name from the
 database somewhere without converting it to unicode - which goes against
 what we do with every other text string. Although it might mean more
 changes, the correct way to handle the problem would be to find where
 we've missed .fromUTF8()

 I'm wondering why we are passing around recgroup as a string anyway -
 using a numeric id is much safer and makes changing things like the
 recgroup name much easier. Perhaps we need to setup a recgroup table
 indexing the recgroups by an id, storing the name and password (replacing
 recgrouppassword).
