Works ok for me, at least it doesn't crash :-)

While harvesting OAI data in Perl I've routinely had the LibXML  
parser fail. Do you happen to know what underlying parser you are  
using? You can check by:

	use XML::SAX::ParserFactory;
	$parser = XML::SAX::ParserFactory->new();
	print $parser;

I've found XML::SAX::Expat to be much more reliable.
