+Sorry I'm don't know much about that (I'm the crypto man ;-). I didn't
+have this problem when using NLD9 (with LANG="en_US.UTF-8"). Maybe
+"man mono" can help you ?
+
+I also added some unit tests in SVN, and I wanted to avoid any
+possible encoding problems, so I transformed the characters into byte
+arrays, like that:
+
+// § (C2-A7)
+string s = Encoding.UTF8.GetString (new byte [2] { 0xC2, 0xA7 });
+Assert.AreEqual ("BD9A4C255DEEC8944D99E01A64C1E322",
+FormsAuthentication.HashPasswordForStoringInConfigFile (s, "MD5"));
+
+// ä (C3-A4)
+s = Encoding.UTF8.GetString (new byte [2] { 0xC3, 0xA4 });
+Assert.AreEqual ("8419B71C87A225A2C70B50486FBEE545",
+FormsAuthentication.HashPasswordForStoringInConfigFile (s, "MD5"));

+If you want to re-compile System.Web.dll with the patch then the
+required changes are very simples
