From: Archana Singh <archus(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com&gt; As ident is in encoded value but e.message is in unicode value, combination of which result into unicode value having encoded ident value. So when wok_log.error try to encode(encoded value) it result into error. This patch fix the unicode error by encoding e.message.
