"Update Categories" fails when using unicode domains

[ghost]

The application fails to update domain categories when it is tracking a unicode domain. The following error is displayed in the console:

[+] Starting update of $UNICODE_DOMAIN

Of course, that makes sense. I'll look into this and see what we can do.

The good news, for now, is the code tries to handle these failures. It's just that the error handling is apparently broken. Oops! I'll get that fixe din this next update I'm preparing and then work on handling unicode domains.

Thanks for heads up!
