Mike - I should have been a little more specific about the use case. What
if that map is serialized to the db; would calling doc() on that
potentially overload the expanded tree cache?

let $m := map:map(doc('/path/to/map.xml')/map:map)
return xdmp:set-server-field('my-map', $m)

Best guess on the QA server is that ML was installed when its VM was
allocated fewer resources. But that's a good point about catching bad
queries.
