Schema Parsing Failed, fix?

[ryan mckinley]

I have been succescully using a 'nightly build' from a week ago.  I updated
to the trunk version and am unable to get the example webapp to deploy.

I get an error that says "Schema Parsing Failed" caused by
NumberFormatException when trying to set the version in
IndexSchema.readConfig().

I was able to get the schema to load (and still pass all the tests) by
modifying org.apache.solr.core.Config.getVal( ... )

trunk:
 String txt = DOMUtil.getText(nd);

mine:

 String txt = DOMUtil.getText(nd);
 if( txt == null || txt.length() < 1 ) {
     txt = nd.getNodeValue();
 }

I'm not sure this i a 'real' fix, as i don't fully understand it.  any
thougts what may be going on?  Are other people having this problem?

thanks
