Nope; and I'll bet this is related. Perhaps your Apache error_log contained
some messages about Text::Iconv or iconv_open? If you don't use a recent
glibc (which Solaris doesn't by default), you need to get libiconv
seperately (or install glibc) for character encoding conversions to work.
It's possible to hack Validator into not doing charset conversions, but I
would strongly reccomend you not attempt this as it's apt to break things
all over the place.

The current CVS HEAD should always be fine. New development is happening on
a branch (validator-0_6_0 ATM).


Apologies again for dropping this issue. Y'all should feel free to ping me
(repeatedly!) if I appear to have forgot about something.
