Hi all,
Just a heads up... I just found what appears to be a bug in libxml2
version on 2.6.27.dfsg-4 on Debian Etch, which is the latest stable
libxml2 release (as of late August). After parsing a certain number of
jabber messages within a given SAX parser context, it just "stops
working". In my test environment (2.6.18-5-amd64), it always breaks
between 26k and 31k messages. This manifests itself as failed messages to
the OpenSRF router: the requests go in, but they never come out the other
end.
You can see what version you have installed with
$ dpkg -l libxml2 libxml2-dev
I downgraded my machine to libxml2_2.6.27.dfsg-2_amd64 and
libxml2-dev_2.6.27.dfsg-2_amd64 (to match other local machines) and
problem solved.
Finding old Debian packages isn't always easy, so I've put our AMD 64
versions on the open-ils.org site in case they can be of use to anyone:
http://open-ils.org/~erickson/libxml2_2.6.27.dfsg-2_amd64.deb
http://open-ils.org/~erickson/libxml2-dev_2.6.27.dfsg-2_amd64.deb
I'll try to isolate the problem so I can send something useful to the
libxml2 folks.
Thanks,
-b
