Description From Joe Bester 2008-01-16 12:18:37

There's a parsing bug in libxml2 which can cause the xml parser to get stuck
trying to parse a bad XML string. There's a patch at
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/2008-January/msg00036.html which fixes this
issue. Should be applied and made available as an advisory after the 4.0.6
release is tagged.

Committed to 4.0 branch and trunk. Advisory at
http://www.globus.org/toolkit/advisories.html#globus_libxml2-0.14
