[Koha-devel] Problems with diacritics

GNU/Linux (Debian - Lenny)
US keyboard - I did not type the diacritics (I think the problem is with the
character "ϊ" of the eu2.marc file)

I uploaded, staged and imported a file with records that contain amongst
other
MANY titles the word "Ευρωαπαϊκή" (it means European) as a title of a
book. 
After that, any catalog search that contains a word that was in that file
gives
me the error page: 

Error:  Can't call method "as_usmarc" on an undefined value at
/usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Search.pm line 2133. 

I undid the import but nothing happened. 

The BIG problem is that it contained many many widely used words like
"economics" or "environment" or "statistics". So now that I search for these
words I get the same error page.

Could you please provide me with a work around in order to remove this
staged
file please?

########
Way to reproduce:
########
Download: http://costis.name/eu2.marc : this file contains various entries
amongst them
there is a book written by McCann, and in a later line another book that
contains the string "Ευρωπαϊκ" in its title, written by "Μούσης".

1. I have a clean installation of koha and import eu2.marc
2. I search for McCann, and I get the result I should
3. I search for Μούσης and I get the error (Error:  Can't call method
"as_usmarc" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Search.pm line
2133.)
4. I search for McCann, and I get the same Error!... Isn't it weird that I
did
not get it in step 2?

How could i resolve this?

########
Unsuccessful solution:
########
In the database, I removed from the import_batches table the entries of
the import_batch_id 13,14,15 (these correspond to the files that contained
the
entries with the diacritics and are like the eu2.marc file), but the problem
persists. What else should I do ?
