[TYPO3-dev] A ticking ticking timebomb with libxml update to 2.7.1?

[Jeff Segars]

Lee,
Doesn't sound like it will help you much given your current versions, 
but for what its worth the original issue with corrupt XML is completely 
fixed with the combination of PHP 5.2.9 and libxml 2.7.3.

Thanks,
jeff
