[BRLTTY] Speech-dispatcher crashes when encountering semi-graphical characters

Hi all,
the subject seems odd, but it concerns to brltty:
I installed revision 3642 from SVN, in order to use brltty with the latest speech-dispatcher (06.6).
I was happy to realize that I now can read German text, since brltty now speaks umlauts over SD; this did not happen in 
older versions.
But one disappointment followed: When I come across semi-graphical characters on some homepages, the pipe to SD breaks, 
and I have to restart SD and brltty as well to get speech back.
To check this out, open the brltty homepage with w3m or links2 with activated braille terminal support. As soon as the 
cursor lands on such a semi-graphical character - or a whole row of them - speech is silent.
Can anyone confirm this? Maybe it's only a problem of non-English users.
Hermann
