  I'm pessimistic, this might actually be a bug left in the old libxml1
parser.

  Send me a copy too, but I'm afraid it will end up being a libxml1
bug, the entity parsing routine might lack an input lookup call 
is what I would deduce from your excellent bug report :-(

  Jody, it could be a good idea to see if the libxml2.2.xx backported
parser I added nearly 2 years ago to libxml1 would fix this, something like
   tmp = xmlUseNewParser(1);
   /* parse the XML data */
   xmlUseNewParser(tmp);
