i'm pretty sure that this is the same problem magnus (see the "International
characters in 1.4.1"
thread) was having.
he's got back to me now and says that this (emergency) patch (which i've attached) has
fixed the
problem for him.

if Hinrich.Boog can supply a code example, then great - but if you're really stuck
stephen, i have one
from magnus (i'll forward to the list).
i'm not totally happy with the patch since it's a 'intuitive workaround' rather than
reasoned
workaround. i'd be happier to know why ByteArrayOutputStream mangles international
characters but
StringWriter doesn't. i have a gut feeling that the workaround in the patch might have
some ugly
side-effects or that there will be other problems to do with international characters.
stephen - if you could take a look and see what you think, i'd feel a lot happier.
