[ipac] Illegal XML char in items out?

When a particular patron clicks on their 'items out' link in HIP (3.08), 
they get only a message There is a problem with the XSLT. Check XSL 
Server for errors.

I have no reproduced this in my test server so I can try and debug. 
Checking the xsl.log tells me:

Mar 26 10:36:07 [XSLProcessor:transformUsingSaxon] 
javax.xml.transform.Transform
erException: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: illegal XML character U+6


Hmm, is this a char that Saxon doesn't like in my actual item title or 
something? I'm going to look at the actual items to try and identify it.

But has anyone run into this before? Any workaround?

I need to find a pristine copy of whatever the relevant XML file is, to 
put in and make sure the error is reproducible with that, instead of our 
customized searchresponse.xml, before reporting this to SD. I have no 
idea what is the relevant XML file, or if I even still have it around. 
Sigh. If anyone wants to send me a .zip'd copy of pristine HIP 3.08 xml/ 
directory, that would be very helpful.
