The tests I gave should not depend on your distribution, since they use
the "official" SYSTEM identifiers and things like that. The _only_ thing
that could be different is if your distribtution uses another master
catalog in place of /etc/xml/catalog (in which case they've also patched
libxml2). Note that you can have other XML catalogs on the system but
/etc/xml/catalog should reference them all if they are meant to be used.

Please let me know what is different on SuSE platforms so that I can
update my checkes.
