This isn't a bug. SAX parsers are free to split character data [1] into as any 
much chunks as they please, and they can split the text at whatever boundaries 
they want. In order to handle this properly, your handler needs to accumulate 
the text returned in each call until you recieve a callback that isn't 
characters. We have an FAQ [2] on this since this seems to be a common 
misunderstanding about how the characters callback of SAX works.
