------- Additional Comments From peterreilly@apache.org  2006-09-17 22:10 -------
Martijn is correct, this is a character
encoding problem. Both UTF-8 (common as default on
linux) and CP152 (common as default on windows) readers cannot read
in an arbitary sequence of bytes, convert them
to characters and back again to bytes. CP152 can read/write
most, but not all, 8-bit bytes. this is the reason that the
Ronen (on windows) is able to read smaller files (less chance of illegal
bytes). The reason Sebastian sees failures for both the files
is that UTF-8 has a lot more illegal byte sequences than CP152.
Why it works for ant 1.6.1, I am not too sure - perhaps the
default character encoding was set to latin1 ?.

In any case using the default encoding is clearly incorrect, so I have
made a modification to ant to use ISO-8859-1 as the character
encoding to use to convert the characters back to bytes, and updated the manual
with a big block of text to say that one has to use ISO-8859-1 as
the encoding. The handling of exceptions has also been altered
to remove the spurious IOException, as the exception reporting
the problem was thrown away.
Thanks for the report and for the brillant test case (will
be incorporated into ant test suite when I get a chance).
(Missed the cut for ant 1.7.0beta2, will be in release after that!)
