I traced the code and I have a suggested fix in libxml_parser.patch.


Thanks, this should be fixed now with this commit:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/commit/b82fa3dd26a72c89ced293d06269eb97bb252d76

I also modified xmllint a little bit to be able to show the error using that tool.

That modification is in patch (libxml_error.patch)


This changes the format of error messages for all users of libxml2 and could break things if someone tries to 
parse the error message, for example.

I just joined this mailing list. Please advise me if there is a better way of reporting these issues.


The best way is to use GitLab: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2
