Re: [xml] 2.9.3 exhibits strange behaviour when given external entity files

Okay, then that part of my observations was ~useless.

In any case, the bigger issue is that I get back invalid XML from
xmllint now (which I did not get 2.9.1 before). I.e.:

>  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
>  <!DOCTYPE example PUBLIC "example" "http://example.org"; [
>  <!ENTITY % myentities SYSTEM "entities.ent"> %myentities;
>  ]>
>  <example>
>   <title>Test</title>
>  </example>

becomes

> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
> <!DOCTYPE example PUBLIC "example" "http://example.org"; [
> <!ENTITY % myentities SYSTEM "entities.ent">
> ]>
> <example>
>  <title>Test</title>
> </example>


Best regards,

Stefan.
