Hmm, okay, I misread Jim's results then.  But there still remains
the big question: what reason is there to believe that it's safe
to return to the old behavior?  If newer libxml2 versions report
XML_ERR_RESOURCE_LIMIT on the same input, doesn't it seem likely
that there's a live hazard in the old code?
