I changed the code to use xmlSAX2GetLineNumber and
it gives me exactly the same incorrect answers.

I replaced the column callback with xmlSAX2GetColumnNumber and it gives
entirely different and still wrong answers (the column should be ~35)

Before:
$ ./cdata_bug a.xml
line 6 column 25 error - xmlParseEntityRef: expecting ';'
$ ./cdata_bug b.xml
line 8 column 25 error - xmlParseEntityRef: expecting ';'

After (with xmlSAX2GetLineNumber / xmlSAX2GetColumnNumber):
$ ./cdata_bug a.xml
line 6 column 96 error - EntityRef: expecting ';'
$ ./cdata_bug b.xml
line 8 column 63 error - EntityRef: expecting ';'
