[pve-devel] [PATCH pve-cluster] Remove decode from log_msg

[Thomas Lamprecht]

decode('utf8', $msg) expects $msg to be an sequence of octets with
Perls internal encoding - thus no octect may be an wide character,
or in other words have a character bigger than 255.
In this context decode doesn't really makes sense and can easily
fail if we want to log an message including an utf8 character.
The text is alreayde decoded.

Proposal, maybe there is some better way.

This fixes bug 790.
