Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone came across the following behaviour?


Erlang R15B02 (erts-5.9.2) [source] [64-bit] [smp:4:4]
[async-threads:0] [hipe] [kernel-poll:false] [dtrace]

Eshell V5.9.2  (abort with ^G)

encoding=\"utf-8\"?><test>你好 Björk</test>").
3414- fatal: {error,{wfc_Legal_Character,{error,{bad_character,20320}}}}
** exception exit:
{fatal,{{error,{wfc_Legal_Character,{error,{bad_character,20320}}}},
                           {file,file_name_unknown},
                           {line,1},
                           {col,47}}}
     in function  xmerl_scan:fatal/2 (xmerl_scan.erl, line 4102)
