It took a bunch of digging to find line: 835, character: 418 is truely not an UTF-8 character (octal 240, maybe a Latin-1 character?). I'd like to delete or replace it with a question mark and continue parsing. It is a rather large file so I'd rather not read the whole thing into memory to correct. I suppose I could wrap the read function in a clean up function. Messy trying to keep state for UTF-8 across partial reads.
