bitten-master crashes on non-ASCII client output

[webkontakt@…]

I a running a German UTF-8 locale, and the slave returns:

[ERROR   ] make: *** Keine Targets angegeben und keine »make«-Steuerdatei gefunden.  Schluss.

This causes the master to crash:

Step failed

Duplicate. Reported before (#75). I hoped I could close this ticket, but I can't.
