Created attachment 133416 [details, diff] This patch seems to fix the bug This patch adds a check on the data type of the parameter that triggers the wrong assertion. If a string is passed, then it's converted to an unicode before the assertion. I don't know if the format I'm sending this patch is correct. It's a "diff -U 3" between my patched file and the original one.
net-p2p/bittorrent-5.0.9 seems to have fixed this problem.
I can reproduce this bug with 5.0.7. Version 5.0.9 fixes this. I think it should be marked as stable, since current "stable" version does not work.
net-p2p/bittorrent-5.0.9 stable everywhere -> FIXED.
