Thanks, Peter, for the hint.

As I already wanted to have a look at Perl 5.6, I installed the
CPAN version yesterday. It went fine exceptfor six tests - I'll look
into these over the weekend. Environment is DEC C 5.7-004 and MMK
on VMS/VAX 6.2, configuring the standard options (except no -D).

XML::Parser::Expat's DESCRIP.MMS still looks the same, i.e. the bug
is still there. <sigh>

cu,
