[Geany] non-ascii chars in a project name leads to a crash

Hi!
I just noticed that on Windows (tested with XP & Vista) Geany 0.13
crashes when it loads a project which has non-ascii characters in its
name (or path). Geany has no problems when it creates the project.
If I open files with non-ascii characters in their names via normal open
dialog, Geany reads and shows their contents fine. So the problem
appears only when the non-ascii characters are in a project's name(or
path). Just before the crash, Geany displays an error dialog saying that
it can't open the file.
My Linux machine is in a bad shape so I can't test this on it.
The non-ascii characters I used are UTF-8 'ö' and 'ä' (hex c3 b6 and c3 a4).
Best regards,
-Harri
