[tomboy-list] how do I fix a malformed note?

[Kim Cascone]

I keep a To-Do list note in Tomboy which I've been updating for a couple 
of years now

I went to open it today and it was nowhere to be found

did a search for keywords contained in the To-Do note and TB came up 
with nothing

went to look in where the notes are stored

and discovered that notes are being kept in a new place (a backup had 
been made of the old directory)

went to the new directory

and found the note

opened in Gedit

and saw that the end of the XML file is malformed -- see attached text 
below...

tried to fix it by cutting and pasting the end from a known working XML note

but I'm still unable to open or find it in Tomboy

how does one import a note into Tomboy?

and is there any way to fix the malformed XML file so that it will open 
in TB?

config:
Tomboy 1.4.2
Ubuntu 10.10
