Package: xalan
Version: 1.6-3

On my system, xalan 1.6 (this is the C++ version) produces the following
message, for any XSL and XML files I throw at it, including really basic
ones.

XMLException Type is: TranscodingException
Message is: An invalid multi-byte source text sequence was encountered

There are actually =no= multi-byte sequences in any of the files. Here
are some very simple files (from Doug Tidwell's XSLT book) that
demonstrate the problem (but it happens with everything I've tried):

greeting.xml:
-----
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<greeting>
  Hello, World!
</greeting>
-----

greeting.xsl:
-----
<xsl:stylesheet
     xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
     version="1.0">
  <xsl:output method="html"/>

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="greeting"/>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="greeting">
    <html>
      <body>
        <h1>
          <xsl:value-of select="."/>
        </h1>
      </body>
    </html>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
------

xalan-1.2 (from stable) works fine on my system.

I am running Debian 3.0 (with many packages from testing), kernel
2.4.19-powerpc and libc-2.3.2.
