hmmm.. its hard to give youre the url, because its a german special letter. It
is also known as "ue" in german. hope it helps, otherwise tell me

WFM on OS X:

Firefox/0.10
So this must be a Windows-specific problem.

BTW, for the URL in the summary to appear and work correctly, just change the
character encoding (on this page) to UTF-8.
