Public bug reported: Ubuntu 16.04.2 ships with libxml2 version 2.9.3, which introduced a regression causing valid XML to fail parsing when CDATA sections are split across buffers, as documented here:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=760183 This bug was fixed in libxml2 version 2.9.4, released 2016-05-23: http://xmlsoft.org/news.html This particular bug makes large XML file parsing virtually impossible using the package-standard version of libxml2 in 16.04.2. Therefore, I strongly urge that libxml2 be upgraded to version 2.9.4 for distribution with Ubuntu 16.04.3. Thanks!
