Accented characters in the title or description of TV shows seem to make
XML::Parser die. (This happens a lot for me with the "filldata" script
which comes with mythtv.) I can vaguely remember seeing something about
UTF8<->Latin1 problems on the list (or maybe somewhere else); was any
fix to this ever found? (I'm currently using the CVS version of xmltv.)
