Thanks for the test, that's helpful.

Thanks also for following the README and using identical versions.

I'm surprised by this being a Linux box. I received a lot of reports
of this problem, but they were all on Mac OS X. The fix there was to
make the XMLPlatformUtils::isAnySlash() method non-inline. For some
reason being inline was screwing things up.

It's in src/xercesc/util/Platforms/Linux/LinuxPlatformUtils.cpp line
527.

Let me know if this helps and I'll send a bug report to the Xerces-C
folks. 

Cheers,
jas.
