When I try to load ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc-index.xml
into xxe Professional 3.0 (either via ftp or by loading a local copy),
I get the following status lines:

Loading document "ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc-index.xml";...
Document "ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc-index.xml"; loaded.
Deserializing W3C XML Schema 'http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc-index'.
Fetching W3C XML Schema 'http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc-index' from cache.
Processing "xi:include" elements in
"ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc-index.xml";.
Stripping superfluous white space from
"ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc-index.xml";.

and then the following exception:

apple.awt.EventQueueExceptionHandler Caught Throwable :
java.lang.StackOverflowError
java.lang.StackOverflowError

rfc-index.xml is a 4.5 meg file, so perhaps it's unreasonable to try
to load it?

I tried stripping whitespace using xmllint --noblanks rfc-index.xml >
rfc-index2.xml but got the same exception when opening rfc-index2.xml.
 (only 3.5 megs.)

Finally, whether it makes sense to try to load this file or not,
perhaps you'll agree that it'd be nice to have the GUI report this
kind of error, rather than having it be "inivisible" on the console.

Thanks,
  Bill
