I've prepared a new package and uploaded it to mentors: https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/x/xerces-c/xerces-c_3.1.4+debian-2.dsc
If someone wants to test and/or upload it, I would appreciate it. Note: I didn't put an entry to close this bug because I intend to retitle it, lower the severity, and still look for a cause/fix. This seems better to me than closing the bug and opening a new one for follow up. Bill
