Problem parsing sided double quotes

All,

I am getting a parser error trying to parse content containing left and
right double quotes.  I use the character entities: &#8220; and  &#8221;
The Xerces parser is version 2.5 and the error message is:

Fatal error: An exception occurred!  Type:UTFDataFormatException,
Message:invalid byte 3 (?) of 3-bye sequence.

What is strange, as an experiment I tried &#8216; &#8217; and &#8364;
left and right single quotation mark, and euro sign respectively.  These
worked ok.
It appears to be just the left and right double quotes.  Doesn't make
sense.

Has anyone else had to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance,

Steve Pruitt

If you can post a trivial document that reproduces the problem, I can 
investigate it.

Thanks!
