 When exporting NCIS: Los Angeles, mythvidexport fails with the comment
 error ascii.

 I am running mythtv version v0.27.3-150-g082d5c1 under mythbuntu.

 I am attaching the traceback showing the error in dataheap.py.

 I am also including a diff file that I used to fix the error. It is just a
 hack that ignores the ascii error and dumps that actors name to null in
 the DB.

 Apologies for not creating a true patch file. Not sure how to do so.
