Facter / Bug FACT-3081
Facter burns to the floor if there are invalid cahracters in dmidecode
Issue Type: Bug Bug
Affects Versions: FACT 4.2.4
Assignee: Unassigned
Components: Facter 4
Created: 2021/10/13 2:40 AM
Priority: Normal Normal
Reporter: Arjen Heidinga

One server has some invalid (looks like binary data/corruption) in the DMI-data. Productname and -manufacturer are garbled. On one hand this should not happen, on the other hand puppet(facter) should not break over it.
This change should just replace the invalid characters with a questionmark-gliph-thingy, and continue not burning down.
