It still happens to me even in libxml v2.7.7.
Please take it seriously. At least mention in what scenarios does it
happen and does it have a link in libxml's own bug tracker.

I am seeing this error in 2.7.3 as well, so the fix does not seem to be
working.

Just FYI - I have been seeing what would appear to be this issue with
libxml2 2.7.6 (with Moodle), so it seems that "2.7.3 or higher" doesn't
cut it. Reverting to 2.6.32 solved the problem for me.

This bug has been fixed in CVS.
Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change
will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at
http://snaps.php.net/.
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
This fix also requires the soon to be released libxml2-2.7.3 or higher
when using 2.7.x.

Ok, I'm going to try and rebuild the Fedora 8 source RPM to avoid the
libxml2 bug ... but I'm not all that familiar with how PHP is built ...
and could use a pointer or two on what to change on the configure
command line.
Any suggestions?
