This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Please update to the new version of ISO-8859-7.
This is caused by using an outdated version of iconv. We should upgrade to the latest version of libiconv.
We are going to switch to Encode.pm which has the same issue, I've reported the issue at http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=14222 so we would require at least Encode.pm 2.11 on v.w3.org.
This is fixed in Encode 2.12; now we need a way to ensure v.w3.org uses the proper Encode version...
The validator boxes run Debian, and I think updating iconv on such a box means updating glibc :(
Debian stable still has Encode 1.99.
debian now has Encode 2.12 by default, considering bumping up by hand to 2.21 anyway. This should close this bug.
(adding milestone for tracking purposes)
