  I think I already answered last week on something similar.
i bet the problem is that your client code is broken. It doesn't
indicate an encoding at the beginning of a session, so the parser
(expat if you use the standard server code) follow the XML spec
and guess an UTF8 encoding. Then your client send chars encoded
in ISO-Latin-1 to the server without converting them to UTF8, and
expat find it's not UTF8 and again according to the XML specification
reports that the XML is invalid and refuses to process further.

  Report the bug to whoever wrote your client, it's badly broken !
