 User updated by:  phpbugs at colin dot guthr dot ie
 Reported By:      phpbugs at colin dot guthr dot ie
 Status:           Assigned
 Bug Type:         XML related
 Operating System: Mandriva Linux
 PHP Version:      5.2.6
 Assigned To:      rrichards
 New Comment:

While I do not doubt that this is an annoying bug, there are very
simple and clear workarounds. I'm really not seeing why everyone is so
upset about this. I reported the bug and we fixed the Mandriva package
almost immediately with the work around and I'm not aware of any fallout
from that change.

4 month!!! This is not serious?!

This issue also affects Moodle backup+restore and HotPot module
http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-17136

Where can I find the libxml2 patch?
Does someone have a link to the libxml2 bug reporting tool
which describes this issue?

------------------------------------------------------------------------

[2008-12-17 00:56:14] rrichards@php.net

Does no one pay attention to the comments? The fix for this needs to 
happen on the libxml2 layer. The next version of libxml2 should resolve

this and this bug is being kept open only in case some modification to

the extension also needs to occur with the fix.

Recompile with libexpat or downgrade libxml. One of those will sort you
out.

A change to libxml will be in the next release, though the patch isn't
in their repository yet.
