Hi Eric

I'm quite sure that it is this extra \u0000 that is the cause of these 
troubles. I couldn't quickly reproduce it myself, but it could be some path 
handling changes suddenly the null termination is included, and it might only 
show up on some systems/usecases.

Given you have a long history in Debian, I hope you are a bit confident in the 
console.

If you do the following: 

QT_FATAL_WARNINGS=1 gdb dolphin

Then dolphin should crash when it gets to printing "Broken filename passed to 
function"

Then you should be able to do "bt" in the gdb command line and provide a 
backtrace. Then we might get an idea where the string gets passed from (and 
thus where it gets wrongly created)
