Summary: Crash when XML doesn't have newline at the end

Initial Comment:
Please see this thread
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1115372#p1115372
Without newline in XML GoogleEarth crashes, with it - running file. It was suggested in the thread that libexpat is the culprit.

Scenario: install GoogleEarth for linux and try to start it, make sure you
have .drirc without newline at the end (for me it's crashing on start with
error).
Then add newline at the end of this file and start GoogleEarth again (for
me it starts fine).
On my system (x86_64 linux with lib32-expat installed) it is fully
reproducible.
Feel free to ask for more details if you need to.

Message:
Please submit a simple reproducible example that demonstrates the crash.
I just opened your file (with new line removed) in FireFox, which uses
Expat, and had no crash. Also, given that Expat is used i n millions of
installations, we would have heard of this earlier. I am inclined to reject
this bug report unless I can see a reproducible example.
