134966 - Assertion in UTF8InputStream::Fill()

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: XPCOM, defect)

Description

[Heikki Toivonen (remove -bugzilla when emailing directly)]

Save these two files to local fisc (I hope foo.dtd came ok, if not I'll upload),
placing foo.dtd in the well-known DTD location. Then open the XML file and
you'll hit the assertion.

foo.dtd, place this in dist/bin/res/dtd:

<!ENTITY bar "· doh">
<!-- notice the above dot is not period (.) -->

foo.xml:
<!DOCTYPE foo SYSTEM "foo.dtd">
<foo/>

it sounds like the .dtd file is not in proper UTF8 - the assertion would seem to
indicate that your file claimed there was a multi-byte UTF8 string, but the
number of claimed bytes were not there.

In fact, it looks like the DTD you posted has an 8-bit character, which would
imply that that character is a part of a multi-byte string, even though the
character itself is only one byte. This would imply that your document is not
UTF8 or even ASCII. I'm going to mark this INVALID, because it looks like
user-error.
