Re: Segmentation fault loading dblp xml

[Leonard Richardson]

Rafael,

This sounds like lxml bug 984936:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/lxml/+bug/984936

If this is it, you can fix the bug by upgrading your lxml installation
to 2.3.5. You can also work around the bug by removing the doctype at
the beginning of the document.

It's also possible that the segfault happens because the document is
very large (over a gigabyte). If that's the case, I don't have a
solution. Once a document gets that large, it might be better to work
directly with lxml.
