XMLString::transcode added garbage characters





------- Additional Comments From David_N_Bertoni@lotus.com  2002-04-09 15:39 -------
The pointer that DOMString::rawBuffer() returns is not guaranteed to be null-
terminated, and XMLString::transcode() _requires_ that the array be null-
terminated.  In particular, when the parser processes entities, the result text 
node's value may _not_ be null-terminated.

Please run your code again and check to see whether or not the string is null-
terminated.  If it is not, please mark this bug as invalid.  It's your 
responsibility to ensure that any string you pass to XMLString::transcode() is 
null-terminated, even if that means you have to make a copy of it.

You should also remember that you must delete the memory returned by 
XMLString::transcode():

delete [] dch;
