Even less FWIW, I had corrupted entries in the people table even though 
I had never done a partial restore and I had never mucked with character 
encodings at all (and I never used Gentoo :-). To get past the 0.22 
upgrade I had to fix these entries by hand. It was only a problem in the 
people table.
