[xml/sgml-pkgs] Bug#522669: Please apply the patch to fix the crashing of pidgin

[Hongzheng Wang]

Hi,

Pidgin has just released 2.5.6 version and fixed the bug from the view
point of pidgin.  But the fixing also needs the effort of libxml.
According to pidgin's changelog [1]:

    * Make XML parsing more resilient to interactions with other
libraries. This, along with the fix for libxml2 bug 564217, fixes the
crashes on connect in XMPP with recent gst-plugins-bad (see #8830 for
details).

the patch provided in upstream [2] is still needed.  Hope you can
apply the patch so that the problem is eventually fixed.
