[jdom-interest] Stumped on Crimson errors ...

[Jon Baer]

Does anyone know a good way to trace something like this, they just
started popping up with new XML data I go from someone:

Warning: Could not load aiml/std-A.aiml(Error on line 261 of document
file:/C:/W
INDOWS/Desktop/Alicebot/server/aiml/std-A.aiml: Character conversion
error: "Mal
formed UTF-8 char -- is an XML encoding declaration missing?" (line
number may b
e too low).)

Its has an XML encoding declaration and the text looks perfectly
normal.  Whats odd is that even after on every file this would appear:

Warning: Could not load aiml/std-B.aiml(Error on line 1 of document
file:/C:/WIN
DOWS/Desktop/Alicebot/server/aiml/std-B.aiml: Character conversion
error: "Malfo
rmed UTF-8 char -- is an XML encoding declaration missing?" (line number
may be
too low).)

Any ideas?  JDOM-b7/Crimson/JAXP.
