Almost one month ago I have reported a bug in mwdumper which seems to me to be critical. I simply can't user mwdumper with the itwiki XML dumps: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22137

I have extract the problematic part of the XML but until now I do not have had any remark about this bug report and I guess that Brion, the bugzilla maintainer for mwdumper, does not have time anymore for that.

I'm behind on mailing lists and bugzilla monitoring, but don't be afraid to ping me direct to take a quick peek at things, especially if they seem critical.

I'm not always available but I'll see what I can do.

mwdumper is an almost mandatory tool to spread our content and for this reason i wanted to speak about that on the ML.

Maybe someone with java skills is interested to help me resolving this mwdumper bug?

Looks like y'all already worked out that this is a GCJ library bug; the sample code works fine with other JVMs tested so far. Use OpenJDK or another JVM until they get that fixed upstream.
