  Assuming I manage to take one hour of my free time to work on libxml2,
what is the best for the project: 
   1/ chase your specific problem an make a backporting patch to whatever
      version you are using
   2/ spend that time improving current state for the main trunk
 
 Obviously 2/ takes over. Work like 1/ is a service around the open-source
project and possibly an opportunity to grow some business for people who
know the library well. Backporting fixes are one of the most onerous
tasks of software maintainance.

  Okay, I can't remember anything specific. It's a general validation bug
apparently. Fix may drill down up to the regexp engine or something more simple
I have no idea where this can be, getting there is quite a bit of work.
