Description:
------------
wddx gets confused if you try to serialize a string with utf8 characters (like the one below, it contains 'z with dot above', 'o acute', 'l stroke' and 'w' - in case it gets messed up somehow).

serialized string will contain <char code='C5'/><char code='BC'/> ... etc, which will get fed into xml_utf8_decode byte by byte (after decoding the hex value), totally wrecking the output.

Hackish patch which fixes this (whitespace mangled mercilessly, adjust to taste):

Z_STRVAL_P(ent->data) = estrndup(decoded, decoded_len);

wddx_deserialize mangles utf8 characters
--SKIPIF--
<?php if (!extension_loaded("wddx")) print "skip"; ?>
--FILE--
<?php
$zolw = iconv("ISO-8859-2", "UTF-8", "&#380;?&#322;w");
$in = array ( $zolw => $zolw );
var_dump(array_diff($in, wddx_deserialize(wddx_serialize_value($in))));

Yes, it's apparently a duplicate, or at least related. The symptoms are certainly similar.
