Right!

It will also remove correctly UTF-8-encoded strings (which are allowed).
And I believe "iconv" cannot be used because everybody does not have it...

I also see that we have to cut the display of ${INN_VERSION_STRING}
in the answers because the administrator can put a very long string.
It can be done during the printf() reply.
