Thanks Jennifer. There was indeed a bug in the code which caused an error when processing certain page titles. I've fixed the bug and the FDA feed now appears to work for me. Please try it again and let me know if it's still a problem.

Thanks again for the report.

The FDA feed works fine now. Thanks for your time. Is the bug something that would affect the downloaded 1.5 version as well? Is there code to be updated now or wait for v2.0?

No, 1.5 should still work ok. The biggest difference so far between Full-Text RSS 1.5 and 2.0 is the inclusion of a PHP port of Readability 1.6.2 - http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/ - in place of Readability 0.4 (which was used in previous Full-Text RSS versions, including version 1.5). The bug you spotted with the feed was in the Readability 1.6.2 code and so doesn't affect older version of Full-Text RSS.
