I known about non-printable characters in hosnames. These characters is national characters (russian alphas, I from 
Russia). Hostname with national characters is produced by MS Windows from netbios-name of computer and this algorithm 
can't be changed by user. (Programmers Microsoft do not observe standards :( too quickly.)

I can't change names of all computers in local network: some computers is notebooks of guests.

Therefore I suggest to add an exception of such lines of a conclusion logcheck

Thanks
