Forums / Developer / RSS Import doesn't work with HTML in feed

If you try to import an RSS feed that contains HTML, such as most of the feeds off of livejournal.com (one chosen truly at random: http://www.livejournal.com/users/evillorelei/data/rss ), the cronjobs/rssimport.php will hang and eventually time out, or crash.
I have traced the problem to attempting to load the html into an ezxmltext datatype and was able to get around the problem by modifying the code to use the text2xml function defined here: http://www.ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/development/importing_attribute_data (actually, I ended up using my version of that function in my ezobjectcreator class in this package: http://www.ez.no/community/contribs/hacks/object_creator )
This to me looks like a bug, would it be appropriate to open a Bug Report on the site here?

It would indeed. Your report is very accurate so it should be relatively easy to fix.
