Sometimes I get this error while running run-webkit-tests. Other times they run just fine.

worker/3: UnicodeEncodeError(''ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u201c' in position 85: ordinal not in range(128)') raised:

This seems to be an issue if and only if run-webkit-tests is run outside of the WebKit repository root directory.
