Description Henrik /KaarPoSoft 2008-03-11 17:02:38 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
If xmlTextWriterStartDocument is called with an unrecognized encoding, e.g.
xmlTextWriterStartDocument(writer, NULL, "THIS IS WRONG, NULL)
then xmlTextWriterStartDocument will report
xmlTextWriterStartDocument : out of memory!
instead of "Unknown encoding" or something similar

Steps to reproduce:
xmlTextWriterStartDocument(writer, NULL, "THIS IS WRONG, NULL)


Actual results:
xmlTextWriterStartDocument will report
xmlTextWriterStartDocument : out of memory!

Expected results:
reporting "Unknown encoding" or something similar

Does this happen every time?
Yes
