problem with SAX characters method

Well I already used SAX on couple occasions, and there was no problems. But this time I have weird situation. characters method from handler class (SAX parser) does not handle XML element at once, but in two passes. For example:

<some>this is some text</some>

is handled by calling characters method TWICE (e.g. 'this is' and 'some text'). Is this normal behavior, or I do not form XML file properly? If it is normal, can anyone tell me how to detect this behavior?

Every help is appreciated. Cheers!
