Hi,

I found some strange problems with the French wiki pages.

When I try to convert the French wiki pages from ISO8859-1
to UTF8, the wiki seems to randomly corrupt words with the
letter e with acute accent (&eacute;). The words look fine
when I go to edit the page and the random corruption does
not seem to affect other letters.

In the corrupted words, the letter &eacute; is replaced
with something that looks like <invalid-utf8><link><invalid-utf8>;
the <link> is a question mark which points to
http://www.saas.nsw.edu.au/koha_wiki/index.php?action=edit&page=Param%C3
