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 On Thu, Nov 11, 2010 at 3:03 PM, Chris Cormack <chris@bigballofwax.co.nz>wrote:

You might even be able to find those files somewhere on your servers :-)

Hi, all. Can anyone point me to documentation about why Expat is considered incompatible with Koha (and I'm assuming MARC::File::XML). I know there are dire warnings against such, but what are the test cases where it fails? Expat is considerably faster than the LibXML implementation, and it would be a shame if we were continuing to avoid using it without due cause. I've been unable to detect issues with it in my anecdotal test cases thus far. Thank you, Clay
