The one mentioned in the "Error Value" text above!

I am not the Oracle of Delphi ;-)

When you look at the associated traceback (you find it in
the "error_log" object in your Zope "Root Folder" (Management Interface)),
you see at least where the exception is raised.

This may give you (or us) a glue to where the "latin-1" comes from.

But, you must post the traceback in order for us to help you --
we do not have the magic power of ancient Greek oracles...
