Thanks for the report. There have been some recent changes in git with 
regard to handling "string-valued" series, so I guess they helped with 
this case.

Since it's not super-clear from the email text, I might point out that 
it's a rather odd CSV file that Oleh is talking about. The double 
quotes around "male" and "female" in the input are not ASCII 
characters, they're left and right double-quotes from some non-ASCII 
encoding. That means that they're not recognized as simply delimiting 
the words "male" and "female" but are taken as part of the strings, as 
in "quote-male-unquote", "quote-female-unquote".
