Nope - haven't seen any reports yet.

Known bug - I listed 11, but deleted two tests.

This is probably the same failure as DOMPrint.

Hmmm.. Looks odd.

Not sure why, but it's having trouble with some InputSource

that path is totally bogus - you're running /usr/bin/perl, so somehow
Xerces-C is looking in /usr/bin/samples for personal.dtd - this *must*
be a Xerces-C problem.

same problem

huh, looks like OSX doesn't define 'stdin' as a valid file handle??

None of these are new problems for OSX. You're xerces should still
work fine. 

Adam when you run the Xerces-C samples like DOMCount do they work
properly?
