[Quickfix-developers] Critical LIBXML_DOMDocument.cpp patch for QuickFIX 1.4

[Gene G. <mus...@ya...>]

LIBXML implementation of DOMDocument has a problem: it
skips over every second node. I am not sure whether
the idea was to skip over newlines or some such, but
the end-result is that on my configuration (Redhat
Linux AS 2.1, libxml 2.4.24. gcc 3.21) only half of
the spec xml gets read into memory. This leads to
disasterous consequences -- acceptor cannot even be
created with half of the fields definitions missing.
I have attached a patch; fixed code does not skip
nodes. 

If the reasoning behind double-step was indeed to skip
useless newline nodes (and not a plain oversight),
check out  xmlKeepBlanksDefault () in libxml2.
