... (Fixes #2)
The crc32 hashing function was encoding messages before hashing. The node-kafka client, however, was creating the message with the raw string instead of the encoded string used in the hash. The kafka server was rejecting the message because the checksum was failing. This was causing any non-ascii strings to fail.
