  I found a nasty I/O buffer bug, and uploaded a new set, if you are
having troubles first check that you use the new version:

172741 Mar 21 13:55 libxml-1.8.12-1.i386.rpm
925568 Mar 21 13:54 libxml-1.8.12-1.src.rpm
922681 Mar 21 13:53 libxml-1.8.12.tar.gz
162128 Mar 21 13:55 libxml-devel-1.8.12-1.i386.rpm

  Now this seems to uncover a number of places where people were
not cautious about the encoding of their data. Remember that with
this version as for libxml2 all string in the document structure are
expected to be UTF8 encoded. Making application handle this is actually
a good first step toward Gnome-2 preparation.
