The FastCGI engine doesn't do anything with encoding/uft8, and nor  
does FCGI.pm

This probably means (I'm guessing) that the xs part of FCGI doesn't  
correctly handle buffers which are characters rather than bytes.

We can get this fixed, but not without test cases, and I'm struggling  
to reproduce the issue here.

Help?
