FYI

I ran into a problem when generating the nochunks version of the book. The xsltproc instruction in the Makefile was producing about 50 "errors" like:

element a: validity error : ID version-check already defined

However the nochunks version was being produced properly.

I traced this down to:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=766884

which led me to

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=737840

At the end of that message is a commit that I have reduced to:

sed -i "/The id is/{N;
                    a if (ctxt != NULL)
                   }" valid.c

Rebuilding and checking the generation of the book seems to fix the problem.

It seems that the problem has been around for almost a year, yet the fix wasn't made until 3 days ago. We hadn't seen it because no one has been building the nochunks version of the book and higgs had version 2.9.1 of libxml. A user on the lists had pointed out a minor problem in the normal chunked version of the book that I traced to version 2.9.1, so I upgraded and found this problem.

Hopefully everything is fixed for now (after I add the above sed), but please keep an eye out for potential additional problems.
