It is the result of using the API to add strings to an existing document. The 
bug occurs when there are some invalid UTF-8 strings in the data. I cannot 
correct the strings as I am the owner of the incorrect rss feed so Iwrote a 
function to fix invalid strings then it worked fine.

I will fill a bug report with some informations to repoduct the bug of invalid 
strings.
