        * hald/linux2/probing/probe-volume.c (strdup_valid_utf8): In
        Ubuntu we got several bug reports about device label gibberish,
        for example: https://launchpad.net/bugs/27897. This happens if the
        label is either truly bogus, or in a non-UTF-8 compatible
        encoding. The blunt solution would be to just ignore any non-UTF-8
        labels, but since it might be preferable to retain labels which
        are only 'lightly' damaged (maybe one Umlaut in an otherwise valid
        string), I wrote a small patch to ignore invalid labels if they
        contain more than 20% illegal characters. Patch from Martin Pitt
        <martin at piware.de>.
