 Description:[[BR]]
 Currently role names are stored into database in localized character
 encodings. If somehow those get garbled, unserialize() will fail to
 retrieve the data (because of the string length mismatch) and then a login
 failure occurs.

 Suggested Solution:[[BR]]
 Instead of using !__() for the storing data in upgrade-schema.php, use
 !__() when we display the data. (atleast for the role names, it seems to
 be a common problem.)
