not getting any new RSS articles

My JS console has many of these:

Error: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x8000ffff
(NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED) [nsIRDFService.GetDataSourceBlocking]"  nsresult:
"0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED)"  location: "JS frame ::

I'm using:

version 1.0+ (20050721)

I'm not 100% certain, but I think this started happening when I updated to alpha 1.

if I try to load that .xml in firefox, I get a similar message:

  XML Parsing Error: not well-formed

Line Number 2433, Column 21:

the file appears to be truncated, there is no training </RDF> tag

I've moved the file to the side (and saved it) in order to start receiving RSS
items again.

likely fixed due to several changes that landed in Tb12/13.  open a new bug if reproducible in current releases.
