There is a character (0xED) that doesn't seem to be Unicode compliant.
Maybe you have a tablename that uses another encoding or is simply fscked
up.
I had those problems with some German character, after switching to UTF8
encoding. I solved it with a pg_dump of the DB that I converted with iconv
to UTF and restored it into the cluster. I have no idea if iconv exists
for Microsoft OSes, but there should be alternatives to convert encoding
to UTF.
