Glossary

Hello!
On a test machine I am using Moodle 1.4.3, PHP 5.0.3 and mySql 4.1.9-max. I have a problem with importing glossary entries.
The glossary entries are exported correctly to an XML file, but the code is wrongly converted upon importing. For instance, let's consider the various codes for the entry for the word journal.

In the exported XML file, it looks like this:
<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">false friend # French <span style="font-style: italic;">journal</span>!</span><br />in English a journal is a scientific or academic publication, etc.

Imported into the glossary its code should look like this:
<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">false friend # French <span style="font-style: italic;">journal</span>!</span><br />in English a journal is a scientific or academic publication, etc.

but on my Moodle installation it looks like this:
span style=color: rgb(255, 0, 0);false friend # French span style=font-style: italic;journal/span!/spanbr /in English a journal is a scientific or academic publication, etc.

which of course it is not displayed correctly as :

journal: false friend # French journal!
in English a journal is a scientific or academic publication, etc.

Has anyone an idea what this can be due to ? my PHP or mySql version ? a conflict with Moodle 1.4.3 ?

Thanks in advance
