[V4MD2] String Problem with version 2.0.4 fc5

[Heinrich Ruoff]

put together a very basic example to illustrate my character problem:
http://emil.myftp.org/temp/string_test.zip

a simple table with 3 ids and 3 names
when reading the names from the db using V4MD2  2.0.4 fc5 
the strings get corrupted

my result is: [[#ID: 1, #name: "||º||"], [#ID: 2, #name: ""],
[#ID: 3, #name: ""]]
instead of: [[#ID: 1, #name: "Harry"], [#ID: 2, #name: "Frank"], [#ID:
3, #name: "John"]]
