           Summary: Compiling WebKit with libxml 2.6.27 or greater causes
                    some layout tests to fail
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 522+ (nightly)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: XML
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: mpComplete at gmail.com


There was a bug in libxml prior to 2.6.27 that caused entities to be inserted
twice.  See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159219 .

WebKit has a workaround for this: hackAroundLibXMLEntityBug.

However, in libxml 2.6.27, this bug was fixed, so the workaround causes
incorrect behavior with that version.  A simple #if/#else can fix this.
