The libyaml parser cannot be recovered after an error has occurred.  You 
need to create a new parser instance if you want to process other 
documents after an error condition.

A possible recovering strategy is to seek through the input stream until 
the pattern "[\r\n]---[ \t\r\n]" is found.  Then you can parse the new 
document starting from this position.


Thanks,
Kirill
