 Installing WP to some web hosts, there is a problem if in the php.ini the
 'default_charset' directive is set to anything that is different than the
 'blog_charset' WP option, garbled text can will be received.

 Here is a short description how to reproduce this bug:
  - Set 'default_charset' directive in php.ini to 'iso-8859-2'
  - Set blog charset to UTF-8 on the WP admin page/Settings
  - Open a post editor and add the folowing category: "Árvíztűrő
 tükörfúrógép". You will receive the following text when the ajax response
 arrives: "�rvíztŹr� tßkÜrfúrógÊp"

 Fix:
  I have put the following line to the wp-settings.php (line 570):
 {{{
 ini_set('default_charset',get_option('blog_charset'));
 }}}
