What do you mean by "changing the name in the DITAMap"? Changing its 
"title" attribute? Its "id" attribute? Using "File|Save As"? (Did all 
that, works fine).

I don't see how this could happen. May be XXE crashed during "File|Save" 
or "File|Save As". If this is the case, it has probably something to do 
with your working environment. You need to run XXE in a console and send 
us the messages printed on it.

In order to run XXE with a console, please open 
XXE_install_dir/bin/xxe.jstart using notepad and replace "javaw" by 
"java", save xxe.jstart (normally in UTF-8) then restart XXE.

This has nothing to do with our product. Please specify SVN keywords 
(e.g. $Date$) in places which will not cause the XML file to become 
non-well-formed and/or invalid after these keywords are substituted by SVN.

No. A DITA map can contain thousands of topicrefs.

I'm sorry but I don't see anything wrong with the file you sent me. To 
me, the hierarchy looks good. See attached screen shot.

--> In order to be able to help you, we *must* be able to reproduce all 
your problems here at our offices.

[1] Please tell me, step by step, who I can reproduce the non-closing 
tag problem. Do not hesitate to send me all needed XML files.
[2] Please send me a map containing SVN keywords which XXE fails to open.
[3] Tell me more about your platform (version of XXE, OS, Java runtime) 
you use.
