[Cdash] loadXML problem revisited

[Zach Mullen]

Hi Sergio,

We fixed this bug before in revision 2832, but after some discussion decided
to limit the character replacement to only the case that was currently
breaking a user's dashboard, which was the escape character (see revision
2833).  We said that we would expand the set of characters that we escaped
as needed, and now that appears to be the case.  As an immediate fix for
your issue, you can edit cdash/common.php line 161 and change it from:

  $value = preg_replace_callback('/[\x1b]/',

to:

  $value = preg_replace_callback('/[^\x0A\x20-\x7E]/',


That should escape all non-ASCII characters and show them as "#dec" where
dec is their decimal value.

Let me know if that doesn't work for you.

Thanks,
