      Embedding piece of XML containing CDATA section in "description" field caused SAX parser to fail.

      To reproduce this bug:

      1. Establish jira instance with working backup/restore mechanism.
      2. Enter new issue with description containing following text:

      <Err_Msg><![CDATA[WM returned error 3 [OutDoc::initFromXML:No processing
      instruction starts with 'xml']]]></Err_Msg>

      3. Do backup.
      4. Try to restore - jira will return: Exception occurred: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The element type "description" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</description>".
