[Bug 95347] K3B creates coasters when invalid strings are encountered, and still reports success

[Matthew Flaschen]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: k3b

When I attempted to backup my mail (and much else) to DVD using K3B it
stopped quickly with the standard hyper-optimistic success noises.  I
checked the log, and it indicated:

Using ACLU000.MSF;1 for  Profiles/Thunderbird/default.x3c/Mail/Local Folders/Political Action.sbd/aclu.msf (ACLU.msf)
Incorrectly encoded string (ü†õ·) encountered.
Possibly creating an invalid Joliet extension. Aborting.
:-( write failed: Input/output error

I'll attach that file, and the log.  I understand this is not strictly
K3B's fault, but it should at least detect that an error has occured.  I
think the bug may be in growisofs.  Either way, complete failure is an
unacceptable response to an invalid string.  Even mangling would be
better.

** Affects: k3b (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
