#2385: UnicodeDecode error in runprocess.py
-----------------------+-----------------------

-----------------------+-----------------------
 File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-
 packages/buildbot_slave-0.8.5-py2.6.egg/buildslave/runprocess.py", line
 472, in _startCommand
     msg += "  %s=%s\n" % (name, self.environ[name])

 This part of the code prints out environment variables on your system.
 If your environment name has a character (like a smart quote) that the
 ascii decoder can't decode then this line will generate UnicodeDecode
 error.

 Fix would be to just change the line to:
     msg += "  %s=%s\n" % (name, (self.environ[name]).decode('UTF-8'))
 or something equivalent.

 I saw this problem in 0.8.3, 0.8.5 and 0.8.7
