  yes, it's a bug.

The patch is at 
http://cvs.gnome.org/bonsai/cvsquery.cgi?module=gnome-xml&branch=HEAD&branchtype=match&dir=gnome-xml&file=&filetype=match&who=veillard&whotype=match&sortby=Date&hours=&date=explicit&mindate=10%2F17%2F01+11%3A44&maxdate=10%2F17%2F01+11%3A46&cvsroot=%2Fcvs%2Fgnome

  It might be a bit brutal, i.e. may abort abruptly in the middle of
a corrupted file, but at least it should not hang looping anymore.
