[Koha-devel] XML processing

[Clay Fouts]

Here's a script that tests for Josh's described bug in Expat:
http://treebeard.liblime.com/ctf/expat-marc-test.pl

It passes my testing, but his description of the failure case is only
vaguely described as "sometimes causes the entire record to be destroyed."

Anyone come up with a failure case?

Clay
