I'm working on fixing bugs relating to multibyte character encodings.  I  wasn't sure whether this was a bug or not.  I
don'tthink we should 
 
use the phrasing "COPY delimiter must be a single character" when, in 
utf8 land, I did in fact use a single character.  We might say "a single 
byte", or we might extend the functionality to handle multibyte characters.
