  Hum, might be non trivial to fix, but doable.
The xmlParseExternalEntity() function creates a new parser context
for handling the entity parsing. This is fine as long as processing
don't depends on using a specific context (entity processing ain't
simple :-\). I could possibly modify the parser to not use a new
context (I would need to save and restore a bunch of things but it
should be doable). Depending on how badly the "buggette" affects
you, I would do it sooner or later. I would appreciate if you could
enter the bug in the bugzilla.gnome.org database so I don't forget it :-)
