XSP dropping utf-8 output

[Matthew Smith]

My Apache/AxKit (Apache/1.3.29 (Unix)  (Gentoo/Linux) AxKit/1.61 
mod_perl/1.27 mod_ssl/2.8.16 OpenSSL/0.9.6k configured) has a habit of 
randomly stuffing up the encoding of my XSP output.  On one request i 
get nice utf-8, on the next i apparently get jumbled chars, e.g.

This issue’s feature article, Esther Milne’s
“Magic Bits of Paste-board: Texting in the Nineteenth
Century”, explores the notion of telepresence—substitution
of the text for the corporeal body—through a consideration
of nineteenth-century visiting cards, those “complex
cultural avatars” that “conveyed the desires of
class and gender in the construction of identity”.
The output of AxTrace is always perfect utf-8 for all stages of the 
pipeline.  My browser always reports the meta info as

text/html; charset=utf-8

I have seen this in IE and mozilla.  I am running gentoo linux with perl 
5.8.0.  My theory is that over time, one or two instances of the server 
get the garble bug and once they have it, they keep doing it. 
Restarting the server gets rid of the problem for a little while.

Any hints?  Advice?  Similar observations?
