That's what I thought - has never worked.

I call it right before the fprintf that prints the error output

I don't set any options.  I even deleted the expand entities
and that made no difference.  I set the callbacks for errors
and warnings, and assign the contexts for those callbacks.

Anyway, having another attempt at debugging I noticed that
after dealing with the cdata, the following is at parser.c line 9719:
                    SKIP(base + 3);.

where base is returned from  xmlParseLookupSequence
looking for the closing ]]>

Earlier on it says
 *   SKIP(n) Skip n xmlChar, and must also be used only to skip ASCII defined
 *           strings without newlines within the parser.

However, that SKIP does (may) contain newlines.  There's
another nearby one at 9705 that might also be suspicious.
