I attach a small .xml.gz for reference. for easy reproducton, try: - zless openSUSE:Factory.xml.gz => scroll to the end, you will see \@\@\@ (using a hexdump on it shows it as \0\0\0) attept with 'gunzip openSUSE:Factory.xml.gz', then load the resulting file using less (or dump it with hexdump): there is NULs at the end. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
