I'm using 1.4.7 on Linux.  The problem was actually that there are
newlines embedded in the sample text and quotedString doesn't allow
that.

I defined quotedText = QuotedString('"',multiline=True) and replaced the
quotedString in the valueDef definition with quotedText.  It works now.

Thanks for another great example.
