    Subject: Buffer overflow bug in Validator?
    
    Hello dear W3 Validator,
    
    I think I have found a bug in the validator or perhaps the underlaying
    software.
    I got a reproducable 500 internal server error from the validator when
    validating the result one of my perl scripts produced. It contained a long
    long single line (physical ASCII/UTF-8 line) with more than 240000
    characters resp. bytes (without those unneccessary SP, CR or LF). (Of course
    this is not a usual html page delivered to the end user, it's just for
    administration of an encyclopedia).
    If you want to, I can send you the generated html. It is not available
    online anymore because I wanted to use the validator and therefore changed
    my perl script to include line breaks.
    
    Second, a question: Will there be icons for XHTML 1.1 and XHTML Basic?
    
    Greetings
