[xml] xmlCheckUTF8-problem [signed]

["Julius Mittenzwei [c]" <julius muenchen-sued de>]

Hi,
i just updated to libxml 2.6.12 and became problems with the function 
xmlCheckUTF8().
This function returns false even if the string is a valid utf8-string, 
which can easily be translated to isolat with the function 
UTF8Toisolat1.
Im not quite sure whether this has something to do with: 
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148115
Any suggestions?

Thank you
/Julius

#include <libxml/parser.h>

int main (int i,char** s) {
  const xmlChar* utf = "Köchin";
  int utflen         = xmlStrlen(utf);
  unsigned char* lat = (unsigned char*) malloc(utflen);
  int latlen;

  if(xmlCheckUTF8 (utf))
    printf("valid utf8\n");
  else
    printf("no valid utf8\n");

  UTF8Toisolat1(lat,&latlen,(unsigned char*)utf,&utflen);
  lat[latlen]=0x00;

  printf("%s: %s -> %s\n",LIBXML_DOTTED_VERSION,utf,lat);

  return 0;
}
