So when you're saying it's a static file - is it reproducible or does it happen randomly?
Just wondering - how large are the files? Xerces is a DOM parser, i.e. holds a potentially very large XML object in memory. Maybe that could cause an issue. Is it in a shared scorpe? Some weird race conditions happening maybe (or an issue across different cluster nodes)?
