Occasionally, characters will be sent which violate the ascii decoder's sense of propriety. In fact, in-tree there are a few such files (ex: tests/atlocal.in), and they cause an exception to be raised when they are encountered. Set the policy to ignore these cases. This means these bytes are omitted from the text stream during processing.
