MIDP2: XmlPullParser.next() hangs

Hi,

In MIDP 2.0 when I create a parser in the following way:

--------
XmlPullParserFactory factory = XmlPullParserFactory.newInstance("org.kxml2.io.KXmlParser", this.getClass());
factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
parser = factory.newPullParser();
--------

the following method call works fine:

--------
int eventType = parser.getEventType();
--------


but the following hangs:

--------
eventType = parser.next();
--------

I can repeat the error on several J2ME (MIDP2) devices (SonyEricsson P900, NOKIA 6600). The application runs just fine in SUN's wireless toolkit. The problem might be the encoding type since the emulator hangs at the same point as the application on the phone when I specify another encodingtype than UTF-8.

Any pointer would be very welcome!

Cheers,
Berco
