args-out-of-range error when loading a group

["Tim" <tim.lavoie@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I am using Gnus for both mail and Usenet news, but have a problem with
opening groups when a message author's name contains non-ASCII
characters. I was actually going to post here using Gnus, but the
problem occurred here too. Sorry Sébastien, your message gets to be an
example.  <grin>

Is there a Gnus setting which will prevent the error?

  Thanks,
  Tim

Here's the debug output:
