It's certainly possible that the error that provokes the crash is libxml2 complaining that the tag name is too long or whatever.
Pavel> libxml2 is great library,
HAH. From reading the code, as I have been for much of today, it's pretty damn bad.
Interestingly, the FreeBSD package build of PG now disables XML by default on account of libxml2's very poor security record. We need a better XML library :-(
Is some other with good licence? And with XPath support?

there are number of problems in handling large files
