SAXParseException: Illegal character

Mon, 09 Feb 2004 15:02:52 -0800 

I am trying to get an attachment from a SOAP::Lite (Perl) server, and I
am getting:

SAXParseException: Illegal character at end of document, -

Non-attachment calls work fine. I know that &#x2d is a hyphen, so I am
guessing that there is either a stray hyphen somewhere, or (perhaps)
this is just a symptom of a larger SOAP::Lite/AXIS interoperability
problem. I can't see any stray hyphens, and I've seen people who claim
to use a SOAP::Lite server to send attachments to Axis. In other words I
am stumped. 

What am I missing? 

I'll print the stack trace below (if that sheds any light), and the
output of tcpmon:
