Hi Eric,
Presumably there's an error coming up during the call
MacOSUnicodeConverter::makeNewLCPTranscoder(). I'd step through this in the
debugger to see what occurs.
I suspect that the problem is that there's no unicode converter installed on
your 8.6 system (my recollection is that the unicode converter ought to be
there, but maybe it's just an optional install). If that is the case, you'll
see that you crash apparently in calling one of the unicode converter calls.
If you check the function pointer [something like: if
(CreateTextToUnicodeInfoByEncoding != 0)] in such a case you'll quickly see
what is wrong.
Please let me know what you find. If nothing else, the routine
XMLPlatformUtils::makeTransService in MacOSPlatformUtils.cpp should probably
be changed to check for the existence of the unicode converter, and return
NULL otherwise.
