Just to follow up to myself, it is the string-match function which was
blowing up on the accented or other characters. I did find that I had
had the Mule version of XEmacs installed, and since I don't need that
functionality, I tried replacing it with the non-Mule version. That
seems to have worked fine, so I can now open groups where the user's
name has these characters.
