Scala redis - Unicode strings insertion problem

Hi,

I was trying out your scala-redis library for my project. I encountered problems when inserting unicode strings into redis database.
Some of the unicode strings are not inserted at all, some of them are getting inserted but only a part of it. I tried with my scala interpreter too. At one point it just give array index out of bounds exception or it hangs (infinite loop or something). I have dumped the errors below.

Please let me know, if you have any suggestions or fixes for this.
I appreciate any kind of input.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Anandan Rangasamy.

Here's the dump:

//another one
