Redirect write stderr or stdout to files can cause encoding errors if unicode characters are used and files doesn't use default encoding.
This problem is at least in optparser:

In this case we can override error() method to encode characters in proper encoding.
The FreeIPA 4.2 was already shaped (see [[milestone:FreeIPA 4.2]] milestone), this does not fit. Pushing out.
