At some point after March 22 (I can't say exactly when), a pretty severe bug popped up in the HTML, PDF, and ePub generation, specifically the old style ePub generation. In any story featuring characters with diacritics, such as "ê" or "é", the file stops right before said character and doesn't generate anything more in that chapter, or then fails to generate any of the chapters following. I have an ePub generated by FLAG on March 22 which features characters with diacritics and it's fine, but when I try to snag the same story today using either the HTML, PDF, or old ePub format, it's broken in the first chapter, and none of the other chapters get generated at all. Here's the story, for reference:

I haven't gone through all my backed up stories yet, but also affected is the following, in chapter 2:
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6871246/..._the_Whirlwind

Don't know exactly what changed in the code for those formats, but hopefully knowing that the change occured at some point in the past two weeks or so should help.
