Re: [xml] Strange xpointer issue

["William M. Brack" <wbrack mmm com hk>]

I note one questionable spot in xpath.c - the #ifdef at line 7671
(current CVS) looks like it should be down two lines, i.e. don't include
XML_DOCUMENT_NODE within the condition.  Could you try changing that and
see if it alleviates the problem?
