I encountered an error fetching an article blurb for a particular topic,
Lynne Overman,

http://api.freebase.com/api/trans/blurb/%239202a8c04000641f8000000000f09819

{
  "status":"500 Internal Server Error",
  "code":"/api/status/error",
  "messages":[
    "'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 32: ordinal not
in range(128)"
  ],
  "transaction_id":"cache;cache01.p01.sjc1:8101;2009-02-19T16:41:23Z;0032"
}

I explored the Freebase page and there is a wikipedia article with a
valid id, 7032361
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=%207032361>,

http://www.freebase.com/tools/explore/guid/9202a8c04000641f8000000000f09819

Any idea why getting this particular topic blurb fails while others
<http://api.freebase.com/api/trans/blurb/%239202a8c04000641f8000000000078683?maxlength=200>
succeed?
