So just for the record, the error is really a regression, it worked in 3.1.1 and the fix in trunk was this commit: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1701594 Furthermore I could also reproduce it on Linux and it may be responsible for this one https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-2071, too. > The major problem is that I have no way to test fixes to code I > don't understand.

There seems to be some kind of encoding tests at least I found that one http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/xerces/c/trunk/tests/src/EncodingTest/ but I did not see any input files to this. Thanks for taking care and reopening. Best regards, Michael
