That's because in EmbedItemsInImportBiblio() the call to MARC::Record->new_from_xml() does not explicitly specify 'UTF-8' as the optional encoding to use. This patch fixes that. Test plan (in a MARC21 instance): 0) Stage for import the test record attached to this bug report (make sure that 'Check for embedded item record data?' is set to 'Yes'), then go to Home > Tools > Manage staged MARC records and click on the filename you've just staged. 1) In the 'Citation' column, click on the hyperlink to launch the MARC preview -- notice how it fails to produce any output apart from the modal heading. 2) Apply the patch, and restart Plack if necessary. 3) Re-launch the MARC preview: this time the output should include the whole record, including the embedded item data in field 952. 4) Run the unit tests to ensure nothing was broken inadvertently: $ prove t $ prove xt -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
