7.0.3 dumps aren't accessible via JDBC in 7.1

Short Description
7.0.3 dumps aren't accessible via JDBC in 7.1

Long Description
If the character '\255' exists in a 7.0.3 dump then JDBC barfs on reading this character in 7.1. Apparently this character is a dash character in unicode (not UTF-8), 0x00ad. The problem is that it is getting dumped (and restored) as a single byte and when JDBC reads it as 0xad it expects another byte after it (as according to the UTF-8 spec, anything over 0x7f must have another byte).
