Here's a weird bug that I ran into: I have a plugin that I use (that I wrote) that stores some information in the notes field through the plugin API.  Now, when I do an export to XML, I'm seeing some NULL characters in those fields, which results in invalid XML being produced.  IE consumes it, but the .Net framework chokes and refuses to parse it.

So there are probably three bugs here:
1) My plugin shouldn't be trying to put NULLs into the notes.
2) DVD Profiler shouldn't be letting my plugin put NULLs into the notes.
3) Export to XML shouldn't be including the NULL characters in the output.

I can probably fix the first one (although I'm surprised that it happened, given that I'm using C# and it really doesn't expose NULL terminators), but the second two are something that Ken should look at.

This should probably be done in a support ticket, I'll open one of those as well.

That is all.

It always reminds me of "Stephen King's It"
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?
