 On my customer's site, it was due to the RSS widgets grabbing eBay feeds.
 But there are other calls to html_entity_decode() around.

 Symptom:

 Trying to decode HTML entities into UTF-8 results in the following error
 message:

 Warning: cannot yet handle MBCS in html_entity_decode()!

 The line is repeated about 200 times, then html_entity_decode just uses
 ISO-8859-1 charset.

 The related php bugs:

  - http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=25670
  - http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=27626

 Also occurs in BB:

 html_entity_decode

 Based on this thread, there is a potential fix:
