[Bug xml/29047] New: StackOverflowError when parsing large XML file with validation turned on

[elias at oddlabs dot com]

I get a StackOverflowError when trying to run the test at:

http://download.oddlabs.com/elias/classpathxml.tar.gz

The test is a larger program pruned as much as possible while still
demonstrating the stack overflow.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Use Classpath CVS HEAD
2. Use either JamVM 1.4.3 or the Jikes RVM from SVN
3. Run the run.sh script from the test.

I've noticed that turning off validation (the line containing
factory.setValidating(true)) the test will run successfully. It seems that the
validator stack depth is dependent on the number of child nodes (the <b/> nodes
in this case), which is unfortunate.
