I still think it might be worthwhile to re-open
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7411, although that's
probably easier said than done now that it's problem behaviour has been
corrected...

Clearly, Text::Unaccent hasn't been doing anything for CJK or Arabic anyway,
and everything has been fine. So I don't know if we really need to be
unaccenting the userid anyway. Can the problem really be localized to French?
Or were French libraries the only ones to notice the original problem?

The original comment on this bug also talks about replacing Text::Unaccent with
Text::Unaccent::PurePerl because there were issues on 64 bit CentOS, but the
community doesn't really support anything other than Debian/Ubuntu anyway....
