  See your xml and the system identifier you use for the DTD

  file:///./

if I use that I get an error that the DTD fails to be loaded on linux
and validation fails (xml and dtd being in the same directory) switching
to
  ./testme.dtd

works after that i.e. xmllint code succeeds

file:// URIs are (or used to be) completely underspecified, and
what you use there would mean on a Linux machine, the file testme.dtd
which is in the . directory under to root of the filesystem of the
localhost machine, i.e. /testme.dtd instead of ./testme.dtd
What is does on Windows and why, I can't guess and I can't test,
simply run your program under a debugger, since you have a reliable
behaviour !
