Description Greg Nichols 2014-01-15 19:16:56 UTC 
Description of problem:

Some character combinations result in output logs that are not parsable as xml, and result in hwcert-client having to fall back and read them as plain text,
showing the following warning:

Warning: could not merge output XML, reading as text file.

hwcert-client can use escaping in logging to prevent this in many cases.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

hwcert-client 1.6 and 1.7

Ran hwcert-backend and hwcert through all stages on a system that previously traceback'ed due to invalid characters in bios information that was saved by the info test.  Program no longer crashes / tracebacks on several systems that previously didn't work.
